Jimmy McCulloch was a famous and talented guitarist 🎸👌. A promising musical life got off to a great start and he entered the history of world music forever with The Thunderclap Newman and later got a big chance with The Wings and Paul McCartney, but here something went wrong in his life and his star gradually faded until it ended in tragedy. That's a big shame. 😔
When me and my girlfriend were teenagers in Liverpool and Leeds we went to many of their gigs and always managed to meet them backstage afterwards, and they were always so nice to us. RIP John Fean. Horslips wouldnt have been quite the same without you.
Or for Miss Rosalie to have a Dad like Mr. Mark Cunningham. I wonder if The Duo would team up for some more covers, maybe lesser known track like It's All Too Much or You Know My Name or And Your Bird Can sing. :-)
I didn't know nothing about Jimmy until i was watching the repair shop on tv when his relation came on to have his Platinum Discs cleaned up. I googled him straight away and found him here on RU-vid. It broke my heart, but also filled me with so much pride finding out he was one of us [Scottish] and from my home city of Glasgow playing in one of if not the BIGGEST bands on the planet alongside One of the Biggest musicians on the planet. Yet he was so COOL and took it all in his stride when once asked how it felt to be playing along side a music legend, Paul Mc.Cartney. His reply was, nothing really, i just go out there and do my stuff and let the crowd see what i can do..... Great answer.!!! So pleased i found him as i'll never forget "WEE JIMMY" and he was only 5 years older than myself. But what makes it even more special is, that BAND ON THE RUN was the first album i ever bought and i still have it, but knew nothing about jimmy being the lead guitarist.. It's even more special to me now. Keep rockin up there wee man. 🎸🎸♥
only just learned of his death - so sorry for your loss. Horslips was the first band I saw live - at Nottingham University - when they toured dancehall sweethearts. Great guitarist, lovely work. Nice vid - thanks for making it. Best wishes to All
His solo on maybe I’m Amazed live is incredible and Beto has it in his top lead breaks of all time. I was luck to see Wings in 76 and 79 and Jimmy was awesome..
‘ It Was Twenty Years Ago Today…..’ and we carry Michael in our hearts forever and ‘ I know we’ll meet again some sunny day ‘..God bless you, Mark, love from Rita xo
