Diz Disley's Funeral Didn't He Ramble Pip Pip Reservoir Diz

I think Mike Pointon and Mike Hogh on Trombones, John Barnes on sax, Colin Bowden on snare, Chez Chesterman and I think Pat Halcox on Trumpets + Wally Fawkes with clarinet case. Not sure if Pete Neighbour isn't there on clarinet too. Pity you didn't zoom in a bit more.... R.I.P. Dear Brother Diz

He rambled till the butcher cut him down.

@keepinguptheday i was lucky one day to meet a young black man from new orleans in bavaria, germany, asking him about the meaning of one line in this song to which i have listened since my early teens: "his head was in the market, his feet was in the street, a little ole lady came marching by looking at the market meat...". "slavery" he said. shortly afterwards "kathrina" happened. from the bottom of my heart i wish this fine young man has survived and is doing well

I remember seeing Diz playing in a Coffee Bar at the back of Oxford Street, London in the 50's. Magic Memories ! Those were the days.

I had not heard of Diz Dizley's passing until just now noticing this video post. I am so sorry, so sad in fact to hear of his passing. He brought the most vivid and alive music to my ears in all my life. not exaggerating. I loved listening to him & watching him play. He has been my favorite guitarist all these years. Must also say i don't think i ever laughed as heartily or as long as I did attending the pub gigs he used to do all over the UK.first heard him 1970 Brighton. will always remember.

I'm sorry to hear of Mr. Disley's passing, and glad to hear this fantastic tribute.

I can Give You one of the Names. The guy with the white instrument case playing "Penny Whistle" is Terry "Leadfingers" Silver. A long time friends of Diz.
