The following pics are from a pilgrimage I made on Thursday 21st June 2012 to some of Ronnie’s old stomping grounds around the Shropshire Hills, his farm at Fishpool in Hyssington, and a few of the pubs he frequented and played at with assorted 70s musical luminaries such as Ronnie Wood, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger & Keith Richards as far as local legend and folk lore go – pubs such as The Callow Inn at Bromlow (then known as The Drum and Monkey and a place where in March 1977 a ‘word of mouth’ outside concert took place with Lane’s band Slim Chance and one Eric Clapton that around 3000 people turned up to). The Miners Arms at Priest Weston and The Three Tuns in Bishops Castle which earlier this year saw the re-formed Slim Chance play a gig. On the afternoon of their show they visited the Miners Arms to reminisce with locals of the years they spent around the area. It was wonderful to meet all the people that I did and hear their own tales of those days… I was (as those that know me will appreciate) like a kid in a sweet shop :-)…it was Kushty Rye 🙂 god bless Ronnie Lane.
