The Music of Cream: a real 'hair on the back of the neck' event!

Amazing gig last night: 'The Music of Cream', featuring Kofi Baker, Malcolm Bruce and Will Johns.This was NOT an attempt to reproduce the music of their legendary fathers / uncle, but the guys' own interpretation of it. Absolutely astonishing virtuosity!

Peter and I are both musicians of sorts (he a drummer, me a guitarist / vocalist) and we sat spellbound at the faultless performances of the three players. I'd worried that the death of Ginger Baker on Sunday might have resulted in a cancellation, but it turns out that - although he admired his father - Kofi didn't like or speak with him.

Amazing that Will Johns has so many famous uncles: his mum is the sister of Patti Boyd, so his relatives by marriage include Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Mick Fleetwood!

(I pinched the photos from the 'net, so thanks to the anonymous posters!)
