In the interview he states he was a guitarist/violinist and subbed once for Dave Davies in the Kinks. The Sweet Slag album cover was prescient, if it was him.<br /><br />http://www.histmodbiomed.org/article/wright-mick.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367600000263578810.post-37132139310803326332018-04-01T11:39:44.435-07:002018-04-01T11:39:44.435-07:00Hi the album has been given a limited re-release i...Hi the album has been given a limited re-release in 2018 of 500 units.

He sadly passed in 1998.<br />Jack O'Neil is my 2nd cousin on my mums side.<br />Paul Jolly i believe still resides in Luton. Met him a few times over the years.<br />Mick Wright ended up becoming a MP for Luton back in the 90's...not sure what he is doin nowadays.<br />Having heard this album over the years i realise its not exactly an instant charmer on the ears but it was never meant to be.<br />It was recorded two yrs before i was born and by 72/73 i believe the band had split,so i never got to see them perform live...but my mum says like most albums (and particularly recordings of that era) the studio never captured the skill and energy of their gigs.<br />I was always of the opinion that Sweet Slag were either too ahead of their time or had just missed the boat. Either way its a great tribute to my dad that ppl such as yourselves still listen to their music and find a place for it in your collection.<br />My dad was a fantastic drummer and in the early 80's he was in a band called Wedgewood and i would go with him to gigs and sit behind him and watch when he played and thatz how i learnt to play the drums.<br />Im in a band called southside jimmy (we are on utube) and i play his old Hayman kit.<br />Again its great to kno their is still intetest in the band and if i can help info wise contact me at tangocat1973@gmail.com<br />Thanks.<br />Paul Chambers<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367600000263578810.post-10295855409689115212012-05-03T18:00:03.278-07:002012-05-03T18:00:03.278-07:00Jack o'neill ended up being my step father, we...Jack o'neill ended up being my step father, we got on great for a few years but then I became a teenager.

I just obtained the CD and am listening to it right now. While I may believe the world is nothing but a piece of shit...I don't think that's the reason I like this recording. I kind of gravitate to anything noncommercial or considered odd by the mainstream and this fits that niche perfectly.
