"#MickFleetwood fell in with #BrianJones, which was by no means a bad move. Being seen with the chippy-ruffian #Stones, feted and fawned-over at the same events, was doing him & #PeteBardens no harm whatsoever. The pair of them milked it to the brim - who could blame them?"

"#MickeyMost insisted that Jeff sang instead of Rod, who sang backing. I played bass on it. So those who were there insist. I can’t actually remember having done so, and the history books record the bassist as having been John Paul Jones. Who knows?" https://t.co/aTb5aryqfq

Beck's Bolero: "#TheWho’s #KeithMoon & #JohnEntwistle agreed to do some experimental recording with #Beck & #JimmyPage, along with pianist #NickyHopkins. But Entwistle lost his nerve at the last minute, fearing the wrath of #Townshend, and withdrew. #JohnPaulJones stepped in."

"I got a call from #PeteBardens. He’d left Them to throw in his lot with @MickFleetwood, who had quit the #BoStreetRunners to do his own thing. They were launching a new instrumental band, #LoonersLtd, in the style of #BookerT&TheMGs. Of all the useless rock‘n’roll names…"

"I confess to having been taken aback when Peter Green and I were sitting on a bus one day and he turned to stare deeply into my eyes. For a moment I feared he was going to confess undying love for me. What he actually said was, ‘Dave, you’ve got the blues. And so have I.’"

David Ambrose played bass with his friend #PeterGreen on guitar in both #ShotgunExpress and #Looner'sLimited (aka The Peter B's) - he should have joined him in #FleetwoodMac. In this interview David reveals what it was like being around the guitar god: https://t.co/8xwNEem0Id

"I became part of semi-pro Fingernail Five, with the future abstract painter Ralph Freeman. We were going places. We must have been, we had a manager. If you liked him, John Scott was your typical sharp-suited, fake tan-faced, tough-talking Svengali. If you didn’t, he was a spiv"

Dave Ambrose: "Invitations to play bass flooded in. One was at a joint called The Brush and Palette in Queensway. How to describe it? Imagine a strip joint crossed with a life-drawing class and you might get the picture: basically a sleazy strip show disguised as an art tableau"

@VoodooChileinWo @MakingTime60s Yes! A great friend of bassist David Ambrose, Mick wrote the Foreword to Dave’s memoir ‘How To Be A Rock Star’! https://t.co/lAzw9cFUFZ

"The Cheynes were slick & professional. They had a hard, blues-influenced sound & more than looked the part. A one-eyed man could see that they were going places. They released their debut single in Nov 1963. The first time I heard it I was utterly gobsmacked." #HowToBeARockStar

[Little Wing Books @LittleWingBooks]

"Mum & Dad must have realised that my days at Byam Shaw were numbered. My love of art had been eclipsed by my obsession with rock‘n’roll. Their dreams for me were about to be dashed. Being in the Blues Messengers was all that mattered"

@leema_seven @THEWENDYJAMES @Courtney @creemmag Yeah @LittleWingBooks great contribution to #PopArt - loved the Dave @AnrAmbrose lateral pop thinking - more de Bono than Bono @U2 @cerysmatthews @garthcart1 @quantick #books @grand_scheme #blues @MickFleetwood @rodstewart #read

"I was a big fan of Cat Stevens’s songwriting. When I joined his band on that strangest of bills, one of #JeffBeck’s exes, the superb #MickeyWaller, was on drums and the guitarist was the exceptional session man #RayRussell." #DavidAmbrose in #HowToBeARockStar

[Little Wing Books @LittleWingBooks]

"Since he was the one who had talked me into joining #JeffBeck, Rod must have been feeling guilty about my sacking. He called to say that he’d got me onto a package tour featuring the #WalkerBrothers, #EngelbertHumperdinck & #CatStevens, whose band had #Hendrix on bass."

Following their massive success with #ThisWheel'sOnFire, Brian Auger and The Trinity were invited to appear on The #Monkee's chaotic television spectacular 33 Revolutions Per Monkee. Read the full story in #DavidAmbrose's memoir #HowToBeARockStar from https://t.co/TmBhKSfuzL

It's #BrianAuger's birthday! The keyboardist played with #LongJohnBaldry, #VicBriggs and vocalists #RodStewart and #JulieDriscoll in #Steampacket, later taking Julie as he formed Brian Auger and #TheTrinity, with #DavidAmbrose on bass. On Fire indeed!
