clw Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 This from Beresford "Bes" du-Cille, a former schoolmate of 60's era Band of Joy keyboard player Chris Brown:Taken at my wedding in September 1969. Robert was my best man and had just returned from the first USA tour. Oddly, Bes flatly refused to provide me the exact date and location of the wedding, nor any reception details. However Dazedjeffy contacted Bes via email a year or two ago and found Bes willing to discuss other matters: *I actually went to school with Chris Brown (Band of Joy's keyboard player) I met Robert thru him, though I used to see RP passing the gas station where I had a part time job (I was still at school-about 1966). *I went with Rob to see The Way of Life to have a look at Bonham-he was awesome and drowned out the band he was so loud!! I have to say he was a serious boozer even then and he and RP were always arguing-JB did not drive and always needed a lift home to Dudley (5 miles)-RP who had an old Morris Minor would never take him and made him go by bus!!! *I was an occasional roadie for the band - I never drove so I humped gear-RP and Paul drove mainly a very old grey Light Delivery van.I used to give RP my old clothes-actually some of my newer ones as he was very persuasive!!! *Pop Brown -Chris' Dad-was BOJ's manager that sacked Rob (from the first BOJ). *When Rob was sacked from BOJ he formed another BOJ with a Band from Wolverhampton called THE PAPER (not the Paint as I have - read elsewhere AND pre Bonham,Gammond) RP encouraged them to paint their faces (he never did) and they used ordinary lipstick which after a weekend on skin was almost impossible to remove-one of the guys was a bank clerk and had to go to work like it!!! Cannot remember their names now but they were a nice bunch. I have a vague inkling that the original BOJ changed their name when RP left (The Good Egg?) *I remember meeting Dave Pegg to talk about joining BOJ but it came to nothing. *I may be wrong but I never remember Noddy Holder (Slade) being a roadie for BOJ (it was a LONG time ago.) *I last saw Rob when I supplied him with a tape of the BOJ's Demos for his 66 to Timbuktu cd. All the band had demo acetates but had lost or broken them!! I was the only person with a complete tape!! [Jeff edit: Bes' tape sounds EXACTLY like what is on the 66 To Timbuktu CDs] I went to his home in Shatterford (about 20 miles away) and had a meal and went out for a drink with Rob and Lyndon Laney (Laney amps). Laker as he is known lives a few hundred yards from RP and I was a good friend of his too when we were at Grammar School in West Bromwich. He also played bass with BOJ for a time and his first big commission for equipment was from TRAFFIC - he made it all at home at first. *As for the Hobstweedle setup that came about as far as I know when RP and the Band of Joy (RP,Bonham, Gammond,Lockey and Brown) split just before a gig at West Mids College of Education where I was training to be a teacher. Fellow students and I had lobbied the Entertainment Committee to book them (BOJ) and then to my dismay the split was sprung on us. However RP got some friends from Kidderminster Art College to fulfil the gig . They didn't go down too well with the students who were expecting The Band of Joy whose reputation had preceded them.Hobstweedle played heavy Blues. Unknown to me at the time, this was where Jimmy Page and Peter Grant came to check Rob out. *The Korner gigs I only ever heard about from Rob. Very intresting,that is so funny he never gave bonham a ride and make him take the bus,wonder why?

clw Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Dont you though sometimes find it hard to believe that the 70's Robert and this Robert is the same guy??

ZepRex Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 No, not really..Beauty is not something you will see outside for the rest of your life. Beauty is something that comes from within and he's glowing sexiness and happiness all around and therefore he will remain beautiful for the rest of his life. If he decided one day, like Jimmy, to become entirely grey I would still get weak in the knees when I see him. Simply for the fact that's he's just a wonderful guy, end of story. But, you know, to be honest, he doesn't need to hide away. He's still sexy as hell: Now if anyone goes on to tell me that this sight leaves them cold they're either insane or plain stupid God help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clw Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Good thoughts,that makes me feel better as I sometimes look at the latest pics and just find it hard to believe it is the same person!!

SozoZoso Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 plus I love his beard in that, I wasn't too keen when he grew it a bit at the sides of his face (during the Celebration day press conference) I think that made him look older and slightly unkempt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clw Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I know you are right.....I think the pics from the kennedy awards do not look as good as these,he has let his hair go a bit gray and just does not suit him,I guess I want the 70's robert to stay and I know that is not possible,I think it is all the smoking that aged him Everything you said makes perfect sense,I just look at both and just see two differant men,maybe I were to see him in person..a dream I have..he would like me,promise!
