charmingfriends islwyn

Wizz creates the usual chaos at the end of his 70th Birthday set at the Islwyn Acoustic Guitar Club in April 2009 by inviting onstage Pete Berryman and John James to busk on an old Wizz Jones song "Beware Of Charming Friends"! Video courtesy of Chris Fowler.

I know this song form the 'Roll on River' album in duet with Werner Lämmerhirt, which is still only available as vinyl record. The LP version has more speed.

I saw John at the Angel folk club in Neath back in the late 70s / early 80s . Great entertainer and brilliant guitarist who really inspired me to up my finger-style chops.Heard he was semi retired, great to see him "giggin" again.

Thanks for last night's performance in Calstock - I haven't enjoyed a concert so much in a long time. It was superb! You described this video as "busking" - if you meant it was alive, fun, being played by accomplished musicians who clearly enjoy playing then I agree.

I used to know Pete. A wonderful guy. Thanks for posting.

Forewarned by a guy who possesses loads of it.  Greatly enjoyed this.

Fine guitars, fine sound, fine game! Bravo!

Hi Wizz, I'm sorry, I think I was wrong. This song was a part of one of the LPs of Werner, which I couldn't buy and this CD was not remastered, sorry,sorry.

All the best to you
