I wish I could have met him, but I wasn't born yet in 1973. I have my greenburst Burns Shadows bass, handmade by Barry Gibson to remember John and of course all the great music he contributed to.
R.I.P. John...

I can still remember hearing about his passing. I was in Record Scene (Chertsey branch) and the manager came over to tell me the sad news as he knew I was a Shadows fan.
A sad loss.
