An early influence, but Wet Wet Wet must die.

Sang like a hard bitten share cropper from the American Mid West.

Spoke like a mangle wurzel farmer from the West Country.

One of the great singing voices of the 60s.

RIP Reg.

Aged 16/17 I was playing a gig in my local pub when the rumour got about that Reg was recording in the area (this was just after Wet Wet Wet made him a wealthy man).

Throughout the evening the pub filled up & then Reg turned up with a random guitarist and we spent well into the early hours taking it in turns to entertain the pub. The pub had very low ceilings and I can remember being annoyed that he kept bashing the headstock of my guitar into the ceiling. It was a very memorable night.

RIP Reg. He was often spotted around these 'ere parts studying the crop circles!

R.I.P.

He made some great music with the Troggs. I'm listening to Wild Thing right now, one of my favourite songs.
