Budgie's (John) Burke Shelley has passed away

[Bass V]

Unfortunately not it was the John Thomas line up. Headlining and supporting Gillan. I did see Tony Bourge and Ray Phillips in the band Tredegar in a pub in Coventry, wish I still had the photographs I took.

still cool seeing them with Gillan, and Tredegar had promise, I like Tony's solo stuff too.

Ah memories, early 80s, If I remember correctly. ,at the Gillan show Budgie played Black Velvet Stallion, and I think Bernie Torme was with Gillan at the time. It was a long time ago.

Man I wish I could rediscover Budgie all over again... One of the hardest rocking bands of all time!

I'm going to listen to Nightflight on the way home.

lucky you pick any tune from the Bourge era and tell me it isn't a classic!

bittersweet to see so much belated respect and interest in Burke and Budgie.

I love(d) his voice and their music. Another sad loss to the World of Music.
