Clive Richardson… Really interesting musician from the Man stable. Remember moving their equipment on the pier. Very good gig.

Kevin Sherwood… This is terrible news, excellent guitarist for Man and his own band Iceberg. I was always a big fan one of my favourite gigs was seeing both bands on the pier on the Up for the Day tour. A brilliant funny author, read any of his books of life on road with Man they are a joy. I still play his music regularly to this day now feel a need to play some more, a very sad loss.

Alan Esdaile… R.I.P. Deke Leonard.

Sarah Harvey… And the sad new continues……oh dear 

Jan Warren… Loved “Man”!! – R.I.P. Deke Leonard 🙁 

Jennie Tocock…  

Pete Fisher… Got to see them back in 1975 at the Roundhouse…

Jennie Tocock… Me too. 

Chris Sambrook… Very sorry to read Roger [Deke] Leonard has passed away. Listening to Spunk Rock live at the Round House 1972. One of my favourite Jamming tracks. Check out God Walking Past DVD with loads of interviews with Deke Leonard. Should still be available from Effigy Music.

Clive Richardson… Remembering the gig on the pier. Deke finishes the set with the track with the GREAT riff ‘7171 551’ Everyone was going berserk with excitement. Great gig.
