FOR SUTCH
Screaming
Lord Sutch
The apparent suicide of Lord David Sutch in June 1999 put a tragic full- stop to
what was, in its own
terms, a triumphant professional career. Among many musicians who can claim a tenure with
Sutch's backing group,
The Savages, to their credit are guitar icons Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and
Ritchie
Blackmore, and drummers like Keith Moon and John Bonham - while the diverse
worlds of
music, drama and literature have been represented by keyboard players Nicky Hopkins,
Paul Nicholas - and Alan
Clayson.
Edvard Munch and Jack the Ripper Eat your hearts out!
