I knew these musicians through John Baldry. His parents, Jim and Margaret were friends of my Uncle Philip. He and Jim were in the Met. When I visited London in 1963 John got me into the Marquee and another place, the 100club I think it was called. I met this band in the Marquee and later bought a copy of Country Line Special which I got them to autograph. Cyril Davies died not a long time after. These were real musicians and great to listen to. I wish you and your dad well.
@Diddleywah KEITH SCOTT is my dad. He still plays but not publicly for a long time. Plays harmonica as well and can pick up most instruments and play. I actually got him to play in a National Trust property this year. A real treat to see other people appreciate his talent and not just his biased daughter! Apologies is I've posted bits of this repeatedly but it doesn't look like this is posting to me!
I can remember si well Cyril blowing up a storm at The Marquee 1963 where he used ti end with a long incredible Country Line Special .I still miss him so much
Keith Richards’ book Life, brought me here. He RAVES about Cyril and his harp playing during the early days of the Stones. I owe it to myself so come see what it was all about. Man this guy was GOOD.
Oh wow just came across this and I'm so glad what an amazing treat. What brilliant music what brilliant days they were ohh just one more night out seeing great acts like this 😎
A bit of a nugget! I am constantly amazed by what is available on the internet.. I could spend all day watching stuff like this! That is occasionally watching, in-between working and all the other things that one has to do...
Ain't that so! You must remember when it could take a month to see a 5 minute broadcast of absolutely ANYTHING. I wasn't fortunate to be able to travel to places like the Garrick where the Mothers had a semi residency, or some of the prime gigs at the Whisky a gogo.. Or even the Woodstock fesatival (although our Dutch niece visiting from Holland went there afterwards and took up with the promoter!). However, I simply couldn't go. So It was those rare TV broadcasts, or nothing. I am stunned now, at how many shows were actually videotaped, and never broadcast... I am just grateful to have lived ling enough to finally get to see them here on YT.. and it goes without saying that I make sure to keep a copy!
Fantastic to see how deep they dug into the blues of Muddy, heart warming to see how much it ment to Cyril Davis and all, that harmonica playing could have made it onto a Muddy record...

Absolute, utter, jaw dropping perfection! Cyril Davies was so far ahead of the curve, that he continues to astound, nearly a half century after his tragic and untimely passing.

first time i saw Cyril was this clip, really turned me on to the white blues versions, but what was Alexis doing on five o clock club , and Long John singing Mexico, felt my heroes were letting me down.
I’ve just finished a book called The Highs and Lows of Roland Knole That features an appearance by Cyril Davis at the old Roundhouse and the London Blues and Barrelhouse Club.
We 'The Jazzshades' supported the reincarnation in 63' of the band that was formed by Alexis Korner and the Blues Corporation. It had Jack Bruce, Double bass, Ginger Baker, Drums and Herbie Gions on Vocals, Alexis, Guitar.
@@trevorhoward2254 Keith Scott he played piano to Cyril in his All Stars and with Alex's Korners Blues Inc and with Long John Baldy Blues By Six (I think that's what it was called). He's still playing now but not publicly despite mine and one of my brother's best efforts to get him playing publicly again.
I remember seeing his All Stars perforeming shortly after his untimley demise. Spoke to their manager at the interval and he was talking about having to break up the band. Some went on to greater things ..... Long John in particular! No-one blew the harp like Cyrial Davies.
You obviously haven't a great knowledge about harmonica players of that period have you? Probably never heard of Paul Jones, or duster bennett! no, I'd check em out if I were you, stupid boy!..
A lot of the blues artist from the USA were a big influence on the British music scene during the early 60s and people like Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies were among the founders of the British Blues scenes with bands like Manfred Mann,the Yardbirds,Rolling Stones learning their trade in the clubs that played for that type of music
This is great. The Butterfield version with Sam Lay on vocals is my fave. When these guys were buying these records as imports, Butterfield and Bloomfield were sitting in with them at club dates in Chicago.
great footage..i have an album of john singing that..and i'm wondering if the girls with cyril are the ones with john on his album sleeve...thanks for posting this...it gives me more sense of johns history and his own great version of this.
Long John Baldry, here in a mere supporting role, one of Britain´s greatest blues voices as well as a real pioneer. It´s hard to match the line-ups of his own bands shortly after this recording: Charlie Watts, on drums, Jack Bruce on bass, Brian Auger on organ, Elton John on piano & Julie Driscoll, Rod Stewart, and Mick Jagger as back-up vocalists.
Amazing to see an actual visual recording of those early days when I used to regularly attend Long John Baldry's concerts on Sunday evenings at the Eel Pie Island venue in Twickenham. I would also have seen the ex-members of 'The Savages' during the 1961/2 period when Screaming Lord Sutch performed gigs at venues such as (accidental pun) St. Mary's Ballroom in Hotham Road, Putney. (Now renamed Hotham Hall.)
Fantastic Harmonica player....I didn't like him when I was younger,as I thought his voice was thin and weedy,hearing him on a British Blues compilation:I was into guitar players and silly bands like Led Zeppelin at the time (who as it turns out,wouldn't have existed without Korner or Davis to begin with...!) and blues head banging riffs. I have a copy of the Davis/Korner album 'R&B From The Marquee' on CD and he steals the show....! God bless you Cyril and Alexis where ever you are...!
Jimmy Powell was around with Cyril Davies,and jimmy was another fantastic harmonica player with a raspy blues voice,and definitely should have been up there with farlowe,Eric burden,baldry etc. Ray Drury Sheffield
Rod Stewart also toured Scotland in 1963 with Jimmy Powell & The Five Dimensions, with Rod playing more harmonica than Jimmy by then. Pete Hogman came in and played harmonica after Rod left, and it was Pete who played the riff on Millie's hit MY BOY LOLLIPOP rather than the urban myths that it was Rod or Jimmy. Rod also joined Long John Baldry just two days before Cyril Davies passed away, having already been asked to join the band the week before. They changed the name then from All Stars to The Hoochie Coochie Men. Visiting bands would change the posters in the venues to read "Ida Baldry & Her Hoochie Coochie Ladies" with Rod Stewart gaining the nickname Phyllis at that time. Elton John would later become known as Sharon, with another friend, Robert Plant, getting Elsie thrust upon him.

The Velvettes were Patience Gcwabe (Princess Patience Nyameka Gcwabe aka Princess Patience Burton), Eunice Mamsie Mthombeni aka 'Mumsy', & Hazel Futa, who had come to England on tour performing with King Kong the musical from South Africa in 1961
You can hear a similar style from Micky Waller as well, who played with Cyril Davies just after this was filmed. Micky also played with Baldry, Rick Brown and Rod in Steampacket, and later joined Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood in The Jeff Beck Group before featuring on some of Rod's records in early seventies.
I used to go regularly to the Ealing Club in the early 60s. I remember Davies, Alexis Korner, Paul Jones with Manford Mann and various members of the Stones. What a place that was. The beginning of R&B

There's quite a few connections with the Harrow area. Cyril lived in South Harrow. So did Dave Sutch. I think Carlo Little came from Sudbury and Long John Baldry went to Downer Grammar.
Lordy!! he's like Butterfield in that the gulf that seperates a white guy from the blues simply doesn't exist. Davies swings like mad here. Baldry must have fresh out of the gate!
Baldry would have just joined All Stars here at the age of 22, but he was in Alexis Korner band the year before that. Both bands wanted Baldry, but he committed to Cyril after playing with both a few times.

THE pioneering UK blues band. Who the hell was doing this in 1963? Plus a girl trio? Dear Old Carlo. So nearly a permanent Stone, which would have kept him off the burger stall and the bread round.
Played with Cyril's nephew Bob Davies who moved up from London area to Nottingham and was into blues big time , he used to tell me stories of Cyril and Alexis corner and how the stones and others used to follow Cyril and Alexis around to jam with them . I think Jagger and Jones learnt Harmonica from Cyril Davies or at least took note on how he played and copied his style .
@@astragreen Jagger did glean off him he says that in the interview you saw of jagger speaking of Cyril Davies , also the part where he got on Cyril's nerves always following him around asking him for tips on playing , Cyril got on with Brian jones and of course Charlie watts much better than jagger , he did have a short fuse he was also an alcoholic and had lung disease from welding ...my Mate Bob Davies told me all the stories of Cyril and pie island club and Marquee and Alexis corner the people who where following them around , who he liked who he disliked . ruclips.net/video/GEzeaKBflFA/видео.html

The floor used to bounce at Eel Pie on Sundays !

A fair imitation of McKinley Morganfield ( Muddy Waters) But, well, with ALexis Korner he did introduce the Brits and the world to Black Music.
Must have been around the time Keith Moon used to get lessons from Little.

Cyril Davies, Long John Baldry, Carlo Little on Drums mentioned in all of those
Lordy!! he's like Butterfield in that the gulf that seperates a white guy from the blues simply doesn't exist. Davies swings like mad here. Baldry must have fresh out of the gate!
Baldry would have just joined All Stars here at the age of 22, but he was in Alexis Korner band the year before that. Both bands wanted Baldry, but he committed to Cyril after playing with both a few times.
Who are the three Black ladies singing...
The Velvettes
@@cujimmy1366 Made for Hullaballoo for ITV's ABC Weekend TV later bought by EMI, later acquired by Weintraub and then Canal + Now Canal Image UK in Pinewood Studios. The series survived on 16mm Kinescopes that were transferred to Digital Betacam in the early 2000's. I ran the very first Cyril Davis Davis Tribute gigs which you can find in my playlists and i was the guy who found what you're watching here on DVD, Blu-ray or youtube
Who was there drummer at the time
Now that's some "English teeth" on Cyril!,
No comment
THE pioneering UK blues band. Who the hell was doing this in 1963? Plus a girl trio? Dear Old Carlo. So nearly a permanent Stone, which would have kept him off the burger stall and the bread round.
Somebody knows who are the chorus singers? Are the Velvelettes?
Played with Cyril's nephew Bob Davies who moved up from London area to Nottingham and was into blues big time , he used to tell me stories of Cyril and Alexis corner and how the stones and others used to follow Cyril and Alexis around to jam with them .
I think Jagger and Jones learnt Harmonica from Cyril Davies or at least took note on how he played and copied his style .
Not according to Jagger he didn't, Jagger claims davies (nice chap) told him fxxk off when asked 'how he played any tips'?
@@astragreen Jagger did glean off him he says that in the interview you saw of jagger speaking of Cyril Davies , also the part where he got on Cyril's nerves always following him around asking him for tips on playing , Cyril got on with Brian jones and of course Charlie watts much better than jagger , he did have a short fuse he was also an alcoholic and had lung disease from welding ...my Mate Bob Davies told me all the stories of Cyril and pie island club and Marquee and Alexis corner the people who where following them around , who he liked who he disliked .
