“I’m looking to play as much guitar as I possibly can. I’m off to Germany in a few days’ time where I’ll be playing with the piano player Ben Waters and Charlie Watts in their boogie-woogie rhythm and blues band.

“We’re doing five shows and I can’t wait to start playing. I have never been a hundred percent healthy but I’m doing the best I can.

“I’m looking forward.”

His first show with the band was a free concert in London’s Hyde Park in July ‘69 in front of an estimated 250,000 fans
