Fred, I was wondering if the band members on West Coast Shout could be identified from the cartoon album cover drawn by Diz Disley. - Bob Lamb If you think about it, there are seven band members riding on the horse. Nob Baldwin sported a handlebar moustache as the chap second from the left. The fellow fourth from the left, in my opinion looks like Trevor Carlisle who played drums. The point I would bring to Bobs attention is the fact that there was eight people in the band and not seven. Cant see that any other caricature that looks anything like anybody else. Unless the horse represented the missing member. I don’t recall any of them having such a long face, or wearing blinkers. - Peter Darwin
17/03/21 - Regarding identities on MJB album
West Coast Shout cover . - Pete Darwin is quite
correct, there are 8 musicians on the album and only
7 shown the horse. I guessed the odd man out may be
guitarist Nigel Sinclair who was in fact Nigel
Scrimshire. Which makes me wonder if Diz Disley was
the cartoonist as Neville Scrimshire was/is also a
graphics designer. The artist isn't identified on
the cover

- Many Esquire covers were designed and drawn by Al
Fairweather. I’m not sure about this one. -

| 16/03/21 - Les Haricots Rouges from France at the Oliver Cromwell Jazz Festival, Upton-upon-Severn in 1995 – showing their Finale to a fantastic set before an audience of near 1,000 in “Charlie’s” marquee. The performance from this young band of brilliant musicians included – all the band ‘sharing’ instruments for one number ; the drummer, after a solo break, showering the band with drumsticks ; the trumpeter ‘streaking’ across the rear of the stage, and an ‘exploding’ string double bass ! A standing ovation from the whole marquee followed their ‘pyramid’ finale. Our local band were not impressed when I suggested them trying the ‘pyramid’ occasionally to improve their ‘crowd’ appeal. - Terry Birkinhead |

I didn't realise how we looked then, how time flies, it happens to us all! - Peter Eddowes |
