Sad news, by the time I discovered his music in the 1970s you could pick up his albums second hand quite cheap. Fantastic Music and the fact he wasn't quite mainstream made me feel very cool.

Sad to hear this but a bloody good innings none the less. Instrumental, along with the likes of Alexis Korner, in kicking off the British blues boom in the early to mid 60s which led to the establishment of the legendary British rock bands of the late 60s early 70s. Saw him a few years ago but unfortunately he was a shadow of his former self and didn't quite hit the mark. Still leaves a great legacy though. RIP John and thanks for the music.

It cannot be over emphasised just what a major influence he had in shaping UK rnb. From Eric Clapton to early Fleetwood Mac, he was the absolute Daddy.
RIP

Saw him sometime in the early 2000s maybe? Terrible memory, can't remember where it was now. But what an absolute legend.

I moved down to Kent in 1975 and my cousin introduced me to the music of John mayall.
He and his friends used to follow John mayalls bluesbreakers around the country whenever possible and he told that me tales of seeing eric Clapton , mick Taylor ,Peter green, jack bruce etc perform with them and I was amazed that a band that I had never heard of contained so many great musicians. sad day indeed.

The only John Mayall LP I have, USA Union (1970), I won in a competition in the music paper Sounds. It has a violinist on it but no drummer.
Didn’t realise he was born and bred in Cheshire.
RIP

Clapton. Peter Green. Jeff Beck. Led Zep. Rod Stewart? When you think of the early sixties with the Beatles, Stones, Small Faces etc ... wow. |

Only ever heard of two people with the surname Mayall. But by all accounts above this guy was a legend, as was Rick.
RIP
