Fact #188863
When:
Short story:
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, including Eric Clapton, play at The Club-A-Go-Go, Newcastle, England, UK, Europe. (It was possibly at this gig that Clapton first met Steve Winwood, who was then in The Spencer Davis group).Full article:
Steve Winwood : There's no doubt that he (Eric Clapton) was definitely something special from that first moment I saw him. Very special. He had a finesse and artistry on display that no one else at that time, and since, could match. He had an energy. And I remember being struck by the fact that he wasn't particularly a technician. I later found, from working with him, that he is not a great student of the theory of music. But, his knowledge of other people's music was always fantastic. We talked that first night a little, as young musicians do, asking about other players. He was a great instinctive musicologist - his knowledge of other people's music, especially black R'n'B, at that time, was enormous.
