Grattis Tony McPhee, 70 år idag!

Ännu en av alla gamla rockhjältar som fyller 70 år. Denna gång handlar det om Tony McPhee, legendarisk sångare och gitarrist i det engelska bandet Groundhogs.
Personligen minns jag honom framför allt från skivan "Thank Christ For The Bomb"
med bandet Groundhogs. Se videon nedan.
Här lite data från Wikipedia:
"Tony McPhee (born Anthony Charles McPhee, 23 March 1944, at Redlands House, near Humberston, Lincolnshire) is an English bluesguitarist, and founder of The Groundhogs.
The Groundhogs backed Champion Jack Dupree and John Lee Hooker on UK concerts in the mid-1960s,[1] evolving into a blues-rock trio that produced three UK Top 10 hits in the UK Albums Chart in the early 1970s.
McPhee has also released many solo acoustic blues records, as well as duets with Jo Ann Kelly. He is often credited as 'Tony (TS) McPhee'. He was dubbed TS by the producer Mike Vernon in the mid-1960s. Apart from the Groundhogs, McPhee has played with Herbal Mixture, the John Dummer Band, Tony McPhee's Terraplane, Tony McPhee's Turbo, the Tony McPhee Band and Current 93.
In 2009 McPhee suffered a stroke which affected his speech and ability to sing."
"McPhee put together a new Groundhogs band in 2007, with long-time Groundhogs bassist Dave Anderson (ex-Hawkwind) and Marco Anderson on drums. This trio toured England in 2008 with Focus andMartin Turner's Wishbone Ash. The 2009 line-up of Tony McPhee's Groundhogs comprised McPhee, Anderson and previous long-term drummer Mick Jones. The Groundhogs Rhythm Section's latest recruits, Bob Bowles (guitar, vocals) and Jon Buckett (guitars, keyboards, vocals), joined Ken Pustelnik and Pete Cruickshank in February 2011.[3] As of 2011, the new Groundhogs' lineup consists of McPhee, Anderson, Joanna Deacon (vocals), and Carl Stokes (drums)."
