The Beano Bluesbreakers might be the last major 60s band still above ground.
OMG it makes me feel like one of the last major 60s fans still above ground.
I think Manfred Mann are all still alive. We did a thread on this a while back but I should imagine it’s sadly dated…
A few may have carked it during your sabbatical Moose.
What are you saying like?

Bit of a Red Letter Day.
Doesn’t this mark the first of the British Invasion group members to enter a tenth decade?
Chuck Berry, Ike Turner, Fats Domino etc. were all born around the mid-1920s-early 1930s, but of all the Brit guys of the early-mid 1960s, Mayall surely has to be the oldest.
