THE MAVERICK KING “Sort of Leonardo da Vinci of the rock business”. Christ Spedding turned down the Rolling Stones, stood in for Jimmy Page, was the first man to record the Sex Pistols. A few CVs bulge quite like Chris Spedding’s. The British guitarist and producer has been a bastion of the British session scene since the late 1960s, racking up a list of credits that includes Jack Bruce, John Cale, Elton John, Paul McCartney, the Sex Pistols, Brian Eno, Ginger Baker, Roy Harper, Donovan, Roxy Music, War Of The Worlds and, yes, furry 70s faves The Wombles (that’s him as Wellington, complete with Flying V). And that’s not to mention American talent like the Cramps, Johnny Thunders and Tom Waits. The list is, to say the least, impressive.
Having played with people like Jimmy Page and Dave Gilmour, Chris is right up there with them,” declared Roy Harper. http://www.chrisspedding.com
