Eric Clapton

While we were in Manchester for the gigs, I took this photo of Eric in the derelict basement of the lodgings we shared.

This was taken at a rehearsal while on a trip to play some gigs in Manchester.

By the early 70's the guitarist called 'God' by his fans had tuned out of public life. It was Pete Townshend who coaxed him back - to the The Rainbow Theatre for an emotional concert. I remember that... read more a superb new song called ’Layla’ was aired that night.

Eric Clapton recording Tommy sound track 1974. These photos were taken before he and Pete Townshend started recording. He needed a haircut and a little inspiration! After they finished recording Pete... read more Townshend drove Eric to visit George and Patti Harrison. Patti later left George for Eric!
