Grezza 1 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Just heard the sad news that Adrian Dawson (formerly guitarist with The Doris Kent Band and recently playing with Tony Martin) died last night, my condolences and thoughts to his family and close friends xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) And "The Alliance", which had Tony Martin as singer until Black Sabbath stole him. I live in the same village as Ady and knew him pretty well, having played in a local band (Get One In) with him (and his drummer brother). The best rock guitarist I've ever had the pleasue to play with, and with none of the ego. An all round lovely man who will be missed terribly. Even though we knew it was coming I am gutted, as will be most of the village and any one who knew him. The Alliance had been planning to record and release some of their previously unreleased material, see photo below. Adrian is far right in this photo, sporting his typical grin.

Grezza 1 Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 Indeed he was, …very true, I first saw him and Nigel play in Daventry workers with Doris Kent and the following day they came to my band’s rehearsal and joined in with us, lovely guys all of them, he’ll be sadly missed for sure.

Count Bassy Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I would also point out that Adrian got all the sounds he needed without the use of any pedals. To quote red dwarf:" What a guy " 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
