Willie Dowling is a musical genius. I saw the Grip many times, I was gutted when their guitarist was killed in a motorbike crash.
Willie was also a member of the Wildhearts for a while (playing keyboards) before going off to form Honeycrack with CJ. Another great band. He's done a lot of music for TV shows too.
Willie from The Grip. There's a blast from the past. Don't remember a great deal about them, but I was listening to stuff like Dare at the time, Blood From Stone was great.
Now thers a blast from the past. Saw The Grip many times. Have an album by em somewhere - also have stuff by Honeycrack & Catpeople. Wasn't he also involved in the band Sugarplum Faries
Not only is he very talented, he's also a very nice bloke. In the early days of the Roses he went out of his way to say some very complimentary things about us, which was very kind of him. I was really flattered as I was a massive admirer of his stuff. Top geezer as they say.
Any one ever come across a Compilation of The Grip stuff on Cd?
Not to be confused with The thrash metal band Grip Inc, which incidently my X-brother in-law sings for.
<font size="3" face="Arial">Seriously??? So, if he had stayed your brother-in-law you could hook me up with Lombardo if he ever does that stuff again? Not that I like Grip, Inc, mind you, but I could ask Lombardo why he left Slayer to form that shit!Quote:

The 'Shit' is still going they have a new album out. Not that I was that bothered about them. Not my kinda stuff although the brother in-law played in a Coventry Punk Band that were ok, Squad.
A bit of trivia for you... Willie get very heavily mentioned in Tony Hawks (Maurice Minor and the Majors) book One Hit Wonderland, must be the only time a member of a band that gets talked about on here does anything musically with Norman Wisdom!
How do, Pabs. Glad to see you made it...
Cheers matey, This is getting me all nostalgic!
