Fairport News

Bob Brady and Jimmy Cliff

A sad day Monday 24th as we heard the news of Bob Brady's passing. A much loved and respected musician from the Birmingham scene and brief Fairport member (far right on the top pic). Also the passing of Jimmy Cliff (Jamaican Reggae legend) - Peggy was the guitarist in Jimmy's first UK backing band (The Blueshounds renamed The New Generation) in 1965 and Jimmy actually stayed at Peggy's parent's house for 2 weeks during this time. "I am so saddened to hear about Jimmy Cliff passing. 60 years ago to the day I was playing guitar with him in his first English backing band. Check our gig list out in the link below. Were any of you there?" Thoughts and love to family and friends of both Bob and Jimmy. https://garagehangover.com/jimmy-cliff-and-the-new-generation/
