I'm really sad to hear about the death of Ian Mclagan yesterday in his adopted home town of Austin Texas. He was a very young 69.
This man played keyboard and backing vocals in The Small Faces and The Faces, in subsequent years played on many fantastic LPs with Dylan, The Stones, Billy Bragg amongst many others.
I had the honour of meeting him a couple of times and seeing his most recent band The Bump Band in Austin and UK over the last 10 years.....a very entertaining, funny bloke and a great artist.
Read his Autobiography.....its brilliant
2015 and 2016 were going to be the years of Small Faces and then Faces reunions....so not to be.
Anyway raise a pint of Guinness to Mac
