Canvey Island R&B! I received a mail message from knowledgeable reader Gordon Baxter who thought I should include Lew Lewis among my Knights. Excellent idea - so I quote his informative bio:

Lew Lewis played harp with Eddie & the Hot Rods just after they first started out (1975). He recorded a couple of singles with them ("Writing on the Wall"/"Cruisin' (in the Lincoln)" and "Wooly Bully"/"Horseplay (Wearier of the Schmaltz)") on Island Records in 1976, and then recorded a couple of singles under his own name: "Out for a Lark" on United Artists, and "Boogie on the Street"/"Caravan Man" on Stiff Records.

He then put together a very fine band which released an LP "Save The Wail" in the late 1970's which was also on Stiff records, and they had three singles too also on Stiff. They even got an appearance on Top of The Pops. He was a very good harp player, who was influenced mainly by Little Walter. They also had Johnny Squirrel on bass, and Buzz Barwell on drums (who later toured with Lee Brilleaux). Lew had a habit of giving out a harp to people in the audience when he played. I can confirm this, because he gave me one when they played at Middlesbrough Rock Garden almost twenty years ago.
They never had any major success, and folded in the early 80's.
