Saw Nutz in the Marquee club in Wardour St, London in around 1975 with Paul Dianno and Steve Loopy Newhouse ( Clive Burr's drum technician. Both of Iron maiden ) Loved them from the get go. Still listen to Nutz now
My band was lucky enough to support Nutz when they played in Harold Hill in the mid 70s. Great band, fabulous live act, really good people. They deserved to have been much bigger than they were.
MY late huysband Fran Kenny(who passed away in 2015) and who was the lead guitarist in an Irish band named Orchard Rain, played in Dublin with Nutz in the middle seventies. Great band.
Saw them many times in the Cumberland and the Wilson in the mid 80s,dis a great version of ain't got no money by bob segar.ive just had a chat with Dave in aintree hozzy, didn't realise it was him,gutted I didn't get to say I'd seen him play.
@alanrichardson1105 was Dave visiting hozzy? He used to drink in the Rose of Mossley I'll look out for him when I'm up that way They let my band get up at the Cumberland to do a couple of covers They were really kind to us
Good grief! This is superb. Saw them opening at Reading in 1974 and a couple of times afterwards and always thought they deserved better. Thanks for posting.
Caught these guys at Stafford Bingley Hall in 77 supporting Sabbath.John mylett did an amazing solo,rest of the band rocked like sons of Bitches as well!!!
Mick Davenport was doing stuff about 10 years ahead of its time. wonderful guitarist and band..live they were fantastic...but I always found most of their studio albums rather weakly produced and didnt seem to carry over the energy and passion these guys had. A shame..with the right producer they could have been massive.
Saw them 3 times actually - supported Budgie in 1978 at Newcastle City Hall but can't really remember much about that one!! Newcastle City HallI - Saturday November 15th 1975 - I was there - what a gig! - Heavy metal kids - Nutz - Black Oak Arkansas on film - The Rolling Stones on film - all for 50p!!
Brilliant - saw them twice - supporting Queen and Heavy metal kids - much better live than on record. Great guitarist (similar to Ronnie Montrose) and drummer (RIP) All indie kids should be MADE to watch this - and then we tell them - that's how it SHOULD be done!
The cadbury's flake jingle was written by Nutz/Rage drummer John mylett who was sadly killed in a car crash. Bith he and Dave Lloyd used to come into the bank where I worked, they were really pleasant blokes.
Yeah i saw them several times at the Marquee Club in London, they were superb ! Mick Davenport was amazing and could have been up there with Blackmoor of Deep Purple if they had kept going. Great times at the Marquee Club in Soho
Ah! The Marquee club in Wardour St. Loved it. Went there to see NUTZ many times with Paul Dianno of Iron Maiden. I've made this comment elsewhere where on this thread with a little more detail. Just to say saw Maiden in the Cart and Horses pub in Stratford East London in 1976.
I was trying to remember the set (never changed) in bed last night. Got ...River Deep Mnt high..stay with me baby.. gimme some lovin. we nevr knew they were Nutz.... just the best pub band EVER. yrs later we saw Gillan at the Beerkeller Bristol & guess who were backing? We shouted " Sliced Bread! "dead loud between numbers & they kinda freaked out looking puzzled @ each other. dead funny.
Good stuff. Saw them supporting Sabbath at the Hammersmith Odeon - 1977 Technical Ecstasy tour. Really strong. A year later Van Halen were in the same spot. I heard it cost nuts 3 thousand quid to get on that tour . (Addled memory from 40 years ago note). Guessing VH paid about the same to support the Sabs a year later - and that after parachuting into the Stones gig at Knebworth for some bizarre reason... maybe I dreamed that though - can't possibly be real. Either way this guy is one hell of a guitar player. Wondering if he saw Eddie VH or if Eddie saw him. You can hear the Hendrix in both of them plus something special - perhaps these stylistic things just emerge simultaneously around the world though. Pretty sure if his solos had been on a single in 1977 we would have bought them - same as we did Eddie's. Before punk every show had them and we teens lived for them.
Brilliant band saw them support Black Sabbatth in the 70's.Wish there was more footage of them. And thanks to Kim (Mott the Dog) for sending me some dvd's on of them.
What a guitar player. Even Jeff Beck used to rave about him.

I saw them, supported by a band named Blitz. Was that you?
@@MrMjp58 afraid not. We were called Britannia at that point - not bad, but very much minor league!
@@johnpace5774 Thanks for the reply John. Blitz were better than Nutz. That sounds like some sort of chocolate bar ad!
MY late huysband Fran Kenny(who passed away in 2015) and who was the lead guitarist in an Irish band named Orchard Rain, played in Dublin with Nutz in the middle seventies. Great band.
Sliced Bread .... BEST pub band EVER
And Dave Lloyd of course the Flake advert singer

Great to see renewed interest in Nutz,CDs now available of all albums
Why they did not make it BIG is a mystery
Yes, I saw them at London's Marquee Club, back in the day. Great band!
Never saw them in the day but am now nutz about them!
Hey the cumbo! best free music ever.. Boddies... & a sticky carpet. gimme some batman.memories!!
Cumberland arms I heard they played there wish I’d been . Saw them in Huddersfield a few times
I saw them at the Marquee ... loudest gig I ever heard bar none ... was deaf for two days ....
Good grief! This is superb. Saw them opening at Reading in 1974 and a couple of times afterwards and always thought they deserved better. Thanks for posting.

Starts off w the original Eruption!
it was always the snafu + nutz gigs i went to see, mostly at the railway curzon street birmingham! live bands at their best!!
Mick Davenport was doing stuff about 10 years ahead of its time. wonderful guitarist and band..live they were fantastic...but I always found most of their studio albums rather weakly produced and didnt seem to carry over the energy and passion these guys had.

Gerry Bron who captured Uriah Heep so well, might have done them justice.
You're exactly right.
@metafis2490 defo right about the production
Saw them 3 times actually - supported Budgie in 1978 at Newcastle City Hall but can't really remember much about that one!!
Newcastle City HallI - Saturday November 15th 1975 - I was there - what a gig! -
Heavy metal kids - Nutz -
Black Oak Arkansas on film -
The Rolling Stones on film - all for 50p!!
Brilliant - saw them twice -

much better live than on record.
Great guitarist (similar to Ronnie Montrose) and drummer (RIP)
All indie kids should be MADE to watch this - and then we tell them -
that's how it SHOULD be done!
Great band. I saw them open for Queen at the Links Pavilion in Cromer, March 74. They were top drawer.
Had a pint with Dave Lloyd once really nice guy he told me he also did the Yorkie add on TV very talented band amazing live!
Cadburys flake advert..... only the crumbliest flakeyist chocolate!!!!!!
The cadbury's flake jingle was written by Nutz/Rage drummer John mylett who was sadly killed in a car crash. Bith he and Dave Lloyd used to come into the bank where I worked, they were really pleasant blokes.
i heard about 30 seconds of this guitarist on an album round my mate's house in the 70s and knew right away he was a great player.
Saw them in Peterborough in 78 Mick Davenport was an amazing guitarist
Yeah i saw them several times at the Marquee Club in London, they were superb ! Mick Davenport was amazing and could have been up there with Blackmoor of Deep Purple if they had kept going. Great times at the Marquee Club in Soho

Supported these guys at the Aquarius chesterfield. Great band and great lads
so amazing to see these posted - thanks!! Love those first two LPs so much but unfortunately never saw them live.
Mick Devenport...shit hot guitarist.

Great 70s band ! Just discovered 'em ! Thanks to Goldmine magazine for reviewing their live Lp reissue....

Long live the Mull
Great guitarist !!!!!
What a drummer.
Takes me back to the '70's at the Stadium, saw them a number of times. Whatever happened to Snafu
Liverpool Stadium? God, those were the days!
Thanks for sharing!
Great band saw them supporting Sabbath at Hammersmith 1977
Brilliant band saw them support Black Sabbatth in the 70's.Wish there was more footage of them.
And thanks to Kim (Mott the Dog) for sending me some dvd's on of them.
very good
Great stuff check out the cadburys flake ad for more of that voice!
Nice one Keith!
More ! :)
'One more cup of coffee'
'changes coming'
'rsd'
'sinner'
Love it :)
Has to be a 70s Fender bass...
-----the Beatles composed the fantastic hard rock hymne "Birthday"---This Liverpool band has no talent---Do you agree,paul gould ?----
Great musicians and a great sound. A Laney Klipp plus a downtuned Gibson SG makes you a Master of Reality ...!
Now I understand why Punk had to happen. I get it.
Down tuned....killer guitar player....
Who is playing guitar? Its not Mick Davenport he is a lefty.
F4NT45T1C ;)
Even was great when they renamed themselves RAGE, before the name was copied by a german band and turned into a Speed Metal band.
Guess who Zakk Wilde copied !?
Not just the flares lol
His singing could use some work, the playing is good.
