Some words about MICHAEL WACKFORD,
our fantastic and extraordinary drummer
Unique and passionate human being who we lost on this day in 2016.
"Outside of the astrology, Mike was a Drummer. Not just a drummer, but a brilliant Drummer.
The energy he had, the timing, the rhythm, the intensity, he was spellbinding in his heyday.
ln the 70's he was in a band that had considerable commercial success.
That band was Starry Eyed and Laughing".

I've listened to "Fallen". The cover looks like a scene from "Chestnut Mare".
You're right, it's mostly country.
‘It's Gonna Rain Soon’ is exceptionally good. Great production, amazing compression and technique on the Rickenbacker, good vocals. Makes me want to record something like this myself! - All the best, Roger

· Tony Poole's new version of 'Bells Of Rhymney' is on Spotify
Thanks to Eric Sorensen for this review:
'Bells Of Rhymney' – Tony Poole. Wow! Tony’s terrific version of this song brings back the emotions that I felt when I first heard the Byrds’ version of this song in 1965. The guitar work and the vocals are superb.
