Inspired by hearing Big Bill Broozy and Ramblin' Jack
Elliot, Wizz learnt his guitar licks from the likes of Davy Graham and Long
John Baldry whilst playing in the coffee bars of London's Soho in the late
1950s.
He then followed the time-honoured buskers' trail
from the streets of Paris to the markets of Marrakech during the early 1960s
and returned to Britain with a unique acoustic guitar style, an eclectic
repetoire and a 'right hand worthy of Broonzy'!
John Renbourn, Eric Clapton and Keith Richards have
all named him as an important early influence and after more than 50 years 'on
the road', Wizz continues to tour on the acoustic folk and blues circuit,
usually solo but sometimes with his son Simeon on sax, flute and harmonica.
Remember;
