Easter Egg - Who is the guitarist?

Postby UlrichS » 07 Apr 2012, 16:18

Hi all,

Jet Harris recording sm.jpg


I found this picture recently. It seems to be from a Jet (and Tony?) recording session with Jet playing a Vox guitar.
My question: Does anybody recognize the guitarist on the right?

Best wishes and Happy Easter,

Ulrich

Maybe Billy Kuy from Mike Berry & The Outlaws? He plays with Jet on NME Poll 1964 with the Innocents

Possibly this particular photo was taken at an early rehearsal with Mike Berry's group the Innocents around Feb 1964 when Big Bad Bass was
released. Seem to recall that after his accident the previous year he had given away his guitars hence the absence of the Fender Jaguar and
maybe a borrowed VOX from Billy Kuy? Then of course a Jaguar reappeared with him on that 29 date Rolling Stones/Stigwood artists tour
starting about then.

I read an article in Beat Instrumental years ago in which was an interview with Jet.

He lent his Jaguar to one of the Innocents (not sure if it was Billy Kuy) after his accident, and told the bloke he could keep it as long as he liked.

Apparently the interviewer was actually present interviewing Jet when the bloke picked the guitar up from Jet, who obviously wasn't up to playing for some time, while he recuperated..
