Short story:
UK pop weekly Record Mirror reveals that guitarist Peter Green, formerly of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, has formed a new group called Fleetwood Wing. Close, but no coconut. The group is, of course, Fleetwood Mac.Full article:
Mick Fleetwood (drummer, Fleetwood Mac) : When we were all in the Bluesbreakers, John Mayall gave Peter some studio time as a birthday present. Peter, John and myself did the session, and one of the songs was an instrumental called Fleetwood Mac. It was very much Peter's wish that it be the name of the band; he was very against that 'Eric is God' guitar hero thing of the time. The fact that the first record was credited to Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac was against his wishes; the record company insisted on it. He just wanted to be part of a band and, many years later, I'm grateful.
