Believe I saw him twice at the Upper or Lower Deck in Halifax several years ago
I saw him in Halifax many years ago but can’t remember exactly where. Something tells me it may have been at the Misty Moon . He’s not as well known as you might think given his influence on music especially earlier British musicians. Something tells me he “ discovered “ Elton John for example.
John William "Long John" Baldry(12 January 1941 – 21 July 2005) was an English musician and actor. In the 1960s, he was one of the first British vocalists to sing the blues in clubs and shared the stage with many British musicians including the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. Before achieving stardom, Rod Stewart and Elton John were members of bands led by Baldry. He enjoyed pop success in 1967 when "Let the Heartaches Begin" reached No. 1 in the UK, and in Australia where his duet with Kathi McDonald, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", reached No. 2 in 1980.
Baldry lived in Canada from the late 1970s onward, and continued to make records there. Beginning in the mid 1980s, he took up voiceoverwork, most notably as Dr. Ivo Robotnik in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and KOMPLEX in Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars!

Lol... once again we seem to have haunted the same places. Spent many a night at the Misty Moon and saw many bands there....including Baldry a long time ago, and Jeff Healey during a trip back there in 89... Great nightclub....I saw him in Halifax many years ago but can’t remember exactly where. Something tells me it may have been at the Misty Moon .

Just about tumbled down those stairs more than once. And yes , lots of good local bands as well like Sam Moon and the Universal Power for example and Dutch , Minglewood and some others that would come to mind if I thought about it for a bit. Saw Dutch Mason and James Cotton together for a good long show one Sunday night. Good times with a mickey down the boot , lol.

No love for you!Sorry. I was on the other line…
Minglewood was a regular in both Halifax and Dartmouth back then. He played at the Hub in Dartmouth lots. One of our favorite clubs as the manager was a friend and let the patrons light up at will....
Ya . I think his name was actually Roy Batherson . He was an electrician originally. Don’t know why I remember this stuff considering, lol .Minglewood was a regular in both Halifax and Dartmouth back then. He played at the Hub in Dartmouth lots.

Anything when Young wasn't singing. His voice grates on me.
Since we struck on Minglewood, I thought I would post one of my favorites. There are many. This song has become a classic\ At least on the East coast. Enjoy... I hope... lol..
