The New(ly) Dead Thread

[Dancing Pat]

Former Nutz & Rage guitarist Mick Devonport has died. A really nice guy and a very underrated guitarist and songwriter.
Nutz and Rage never got the breaks they deserved.
He also use to be part of Sliced Bread who played the Cumberland Tavern in the late 80’s and 90’s.

This is from the Old Grey Whistle Test.

One weird show this.

Remember it as a kid. Even then I thought it had to be the product of substance abuse...

I mean, listen to the lyrics. "Puff'n'stuff - can't do a little coz you can't do enough." Proper subversive kids' tv.

This guy was also responsible for the 'Land of the Lost' US TV series. I had never heard of it in the UK but after I married into an American family they all said they had nightmares after watching as kids. Will Ferrel did a comedy adaptation about 2010 not the same. The TV series had to be a paranoid drug fueled escapade (for kids)

Sorry to hear that. He always communicated a huge enthusiasm for the music and that's infectious.
He had a lot of personal problems latterly.

Passionate, serious but very entertaining. In the John Peel mode and paving the way for guys like Mark Radcliffe and Marc Riley.
RIP and thank you.
