19 March 2004 Lyme Regis, Dorset:  In benefit of the Paul Kossoff Fund, the tribute band FREED will be performing a charity concert in March.  Paul's father, David Kossoff, will be Master of Ceremonies.  David Clayton, author of the definitive book on the subject, Heavy Load: Free, head of the Free Appreciation Society, and all-around good guy, will also be there.  A few special guest guitarists will be in attendance to augment FREED's already authentic sound, and Rabbit may also make an appearance.  PurpleHaze will also support.

Tetsu's History   an ever-growing collection of info on the renowned bassist/partier.  With your help, soon to be known as the best place to go for all things Tetsu.  Includes a discography that will become more accurate as time passes.

 

Interviews     Unfortunately, I'd be the first to concede that these interviews shed very little light on Tetsu Yamauchi.  However, they are, by their very nature, quite relevant.

Paul Rodgers    vocalist, Free.  Later worked with Kenney Jones in The Law.

Simon Kirke    drummer, Free.  This interview occurred just after my second interview with Ronnie Lane.   Guess who barged into Simon's house while I was there?  Woody.  What did Woody call me that day?  Let's just say "silly bugger" is an underestimate.

John Glover    Free's manager from roughly mid-1972 onward.  Also managed Paul Kossoff/Back Street Crawler

John "Rabbit" Bundrick     Interviewed in 1982.  Coming soon.


 

Tetsu's a fairly elusive cat, and prefers to remain that way. What little information there is about him will be compiled here as it becomes available.
