Wasn't sure about BB's 'significance' in the wider scheme of things, but I liked the first incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, and he seems to have been a nice guy. His books on the British Blues Boom are highly recommended.

Fleetwood Mac? Is that a brand of Lancastrian foul weather gear?

It sounds as if he was only in the band for a few weeks, until Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood persuaded John McVie to join them, and that he played on only one song on their first album.
He sounds like a thoroughly decent guy who escaped with his life, a bit like another rock reject Chris StewartComment

I was always impressed by the way he remained a fan of the band that had kicked him out; didn't allow his ego to prevent him from enjoying what Green, Fleetwood, McVie and Spencer went on to achieve. I suppose he recognised his own status as a 'make-do' until they could persuade JMcV to come aboard, then went off to do something entirely different, but still maintaned his interest in the blues.Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostComment

Until he moved to the US Mick Fleetwood (and his late sister, the actress Susan) lived at Bemerton, in Salisbury, in the old manse house of George Herbert, the clergyman poet. I am not sure if Bridget his mother is still alive as she lived there.Comment

I'm still shocked and saddened by Susan Fleetwood's untimely death: what a loss to the stage she was.Originally posted by Chris Newman View PostComment
