Have got to ask John. What is it like to be instantly recognisable? The unique look that only you I am sure could carry off, must surely attract attention from every rocker in the country? Or do you have a disguise to go down the shops? I have the bald head but dont reckon I have "the sartorial elegance" or ability to get away with the beard and sunglasses.
He is a very distinctive man, I'll bet there arent many impersonators!

I'm trying to imagine someone impersonating John McCoy. I wonder what kind of audience there is for that?!

good point, probably only a GMT crowd?

What, like detachable side-burns to give him a full beard look? Or, maybe, the beard actually IS the disguise and the rest of the time he walks around and we just don't recognise him at all...

Never thought about it that way, but now that you mention it? I dare anybody to give it a tug or try and take the sunglasses off of him.

I think we'd have to do it en masse...kind of pile on him really quickly after a gig, and then have our exit strategies planned...

I think we had better try that at The Rock & Blues then for 2 reasons
1. there will surely be enough of us to restrain John.
2. there are loads of places to hide.

Certainly no imposter last night!
Mr McCoy seemed to be checking the rigging out though!
Maybe we could be in for some in flight bass solo's? In the future?

There are a lot of bald head beardies out there now whereas when this look was first inflicted on me in 1977 it was very unusual and I felt like a real mutant.


Indeed...I met this man today:
