I always associated Harold Pendleton with quality in all his promotions at the Marquee Club and elsewhere, and now I realise just how much I owed him in terms of the artists he showcased, all part of my musical education.I always associated Harold Pendleton with quality in all his promotions at the Marquee Club and elsewhere, and now I realise just how much I owed him in terms of the artists he showcased, all part of my musical education.
What a privilege to see artists such as Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, the youthful Rolling Stones, not forgetting Chris Barber, Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies, and so many others. There was the mesmerising hooded-eye blues singer Sonny Boy Williamson clad in two-tone suit and bowler hat bringing out a city gent attaché case containing his harmonicas. Or the veteran electric guitar pioneer T-Bone Walker, who shared the Marquee bill with the emerging star of the Chicago West Side ghetto, Buddy Guy, with his incendiary guitar playing.What a privilege to see artists such as Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, the youthful Rolling Stones, not forgetting Chris Barber, Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies, and so many others.
