  1. Very sad to hear the passing of Kenny Baldock. I spent many nights travelling with him in the front of George Melly's splitter truck in the '90's. Telling great tales of jazz excess, from the 50's & 60's, inbetween chanting Nam Myo Ho Renge kyo, and keeping me awake on late night drives home into London. i was tour manager, sound engineer and driver for the Feetwarmers for a time. He was a real laugh, although he would make Melly mad, they all called him Goddo!I saved their lives crashing the bus on the M11 on the way to Bury St. Edmunds. Narrowly avoiding an out of control white Transit van heading straight for us. The band were all rudely awakened from the floor of the bus where they'd been dumped, and sadly I lost my job! No justice, very fond memories of the time.
