Rate the guitarist

Kevin Appleyard...................... sorry Kev

FTR I've a recording somewhere of Michael Maitland going back to (preparing to be corrected.....) 1980 I think....

Aye, I mind I bought a few bits of gear from him when I started out. He was a nice guy and damn could he shred!

[Gleber2]

It was indeed 1980 that I recorded Mike Maitland when he was sixteen. His first group was Tartan Slave when he was nine I believe.

With Marty Sutherland??? who also plays guitar fairly well, albeit as loud as any given amplifier will go with almost no exceptions

There can be only be one contender..The Mighty Jeid, for power, texture and originality.

Great work keith, fair enjoyed Wildcat, cracking track pipes an all
Four decent tracks there, only on the footsteps one i would re record the bass, sounds awful muffly and overdriven or something? Nice!

Does anyone remember a local guitar player called Raymond who died around 1984. I don't remember his surname but remember he used to go to the chinese bar in Sir Georges Street, Thurso?

I think the guy you are thinking about is Raymond Henderson, he played with Radio City and then the Blonde brothers. He was a very nice bloke to say the least, and a very good player. I think also it was late on in the 80s when he passed away.
Getting back to the thread, I think that there is one guitarist missing from the list, and that is Zebedys uncle Billy, who melted a few faces in his time.

There'a alot of young talented guitarists who go to the music-link-media youth club in wick. Alot of the best people who were there have now stopped going (getting a job plays havoc with one's social life) but in the up and coming guitar ratings id have to put my cousin Jordan Duffus first (honestly im not biased, he's only 13 and he can pretty much just listen to anything and play it almost perfectly straight away).

And just to mention the Music-Link_Media youth club will be holding a concert on the 27th of December, (in the Wick Youth Club at the top of the Blackstairs) which will be open to the public, so why not come in and hear some of Caithness's up and coming musicians live!

I think there were two Raymond's that died, the Raymond that was with Radio City was not in 1984 I think because I saw him play "Dunkin Bagles" at the american base with Ian Sinclairs band when i was old enough to be drinking, I was only 15 in 1984. There was another musician called Raymond who died I think he played in a band with Craig Mackay but can't remember his name. Deemac will know.

Raymond Reid I think?

Thanks, I think that was him. Sorry for a rather gloomy contribution to the thread.

[Anne x]

Kevin Jack protege of the great Davy Duff son of Geordie Jack
Rossie Murray for whisky

and one to be named yet when I mind Ah Yes Billy Maitland

[davem]

Stu Maitland - a guitarist who knows when to play quietly, as well as when to shine; a real musician. Not that the aforementioned aren't, but he's something else and good company as well.

[Cedric Farthsbottom III]

John Sutherland

[Saveman]

Wasn't there a certain Barry Gordon in Caithness once......he used to get tones out of his leftie that would rattle the teeth in T Rex!

Though he's much more funky based now I hear......

[Reev]

I am saddened and DISGUSTED (yes.....really i am...........) that it hasnt been mentioned yet, quite shocked really lol

Graeme Craig (Bones), yes i play in a band with him, i dont for one second believe him to be the best, but he has an amazing talent, so very eager as well, hardest looking guitarist ive ever seen, haha, not one mention, ill have to tell him to hammer you all, HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIZE OF HIS GUNS!!!!!

Chris Mckenzie (police officer, never played in bands so you guys prob wont know him) beautiful classical guitar player, outstanding to say the least

If Richard Moncur the Busy boy himself has been mentioned then that is DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes Busy, you know why

and finally David Horne, to witness that claw play Street Spirit by Radiohead was...................................
