We have lost a Great friend...
03 Jun 2008

We have just heard the very sad news that our great friend Baz Dunnery has lost his battle against illness, he died on Thursday 29th May 2008 & will be greatly missed by all that knew him, he was a true Gentleman.

Since the 1960s Baz has always been one of the UKs most skillfull guitarists with his own unique style, he could wipe the floor clean with many already famous guitarists! yet by choice, he turned down the chance of fame playing for Ozzy Osbourne in 1975 to return to Cumbria to live a quiet life in Northern England.

In the early 70s, Baz played with the band Necromandus, he also helped Hammerhead out in the mid 80s on a few occasions, he had a top 40 chart hit with the song 'Clogdance' during his time with Violinski  

Barry we loved you, & we will miss you !
