Moz

Hi everyone, just joined this site and not read everything yet. I'm looking for pictures and memories for my 'Memories' that I'm writing. I went to the Dungeon, Beachcomber, etc. I've always been different - my scooter was a big orange DKR Defiant. I played in the Salty Dogs - we supported Junior Walker & the All-Stars at the Sherwood Rooms. Was anyone there?

I have 2 channels on YouTube - 'MozMicDawn' contains an assortment of live videos of the band playing. 'MozMoore' contains some songs/music written by my wife and I including one which has been recorded by Lauren Lovejoy.

The Salty Dogs played around Nottingham back in the 60s a combination of soul , r&b, blues - mod music, later a bit of psychedelia. The band contained: Phil - guitar and vocals Johnnie - bass Stan - drums Maurice (me) - guitar, vocals and harmonica. Later John joined us on keyboard and we changed out name to the Velvet Explosion. The band split up when the members started moving around the country. Phil continued playing music in bands such as Slender Loris and is still playing now - I saw him in Nottingham a few months ago as part of Grievous Angel. Johnnie died several years ago
