Very sad news... He was such a kind and unassuming guy.
Saw him years back at MK Stables where he performed with his Blues Band.. Was a great evening where local singer/songwriter Jimmy Brewer proudly was his support act...
Thanks Bernie... R.I.P

Sad news. Fabulous blues rock guitarist but also a really lovely gentleman. First saw him on one of the first ever Whitesnake tour of small clubs, just after the release of the Snakebite EP. He never failed to entertain and just such a humble man. RIP

Sad to see this reported… distinctive player and writer involved in so much good stuff.

Went to see him as part of the Bluesfest shows at 02 London (North Greenwich).

As we walked around past the restaurants there he was, sitting right out front on his own and tucking into a hamburger. Nobody else seemed to recognise him but we stopped for a chat and he was most welcoming. Later he was up on stage blasting out some early Whitesnake and many other tunes.

A memorable evening and now yet another unfortunate loss from rock world. But we can still enjoy his music!

There’s a lot of his gear and guitars coming up for sale next week, it must have gone to auction before his passing though.

That’s recent, I was only looking through the catalogue this morning, the items were still available then.
