Percussion Discussion - Episode 110 - Peter "Dougal" Butler.

Joining me today is Peter "Dougal" Butler.

Peter was personal assistant to one of the most iconic, influential, famous and possibly infamous drummers of our time, the late great Keith Moon.

Join Peter and myself as we chat about this huge chunk of his life from the late 60's as he tells us how he joined The Who as a roadie (hugely exciting for a young Mod as Pete was) how the job eventually turned into being personal assistant for a young Keith Moon.

 i dont want to give to much away about our incredible conversation, but.... Pete does share some incredible stories about his time with Keith,including the time when Keith got onstage with Led Zeppelin to jam with John Bonham during his solo masterpiece Moby Dick at the Forum in Los Angeles, And how Keith NEVER Practiced and infact had little interest in drums unless he was playing them!

 Im not saying anymore as i would like you to listen to it!!

It was quite remarkable to chat to Peter and get this incredible information first hand, Pete, you are a gentleman and i cant thank you enough for giving up your time so generously and for sending me some of your photographs of your time with Keith.

Peter's remarkable book - Full Moon : The Amazing Rock and Roll Life of Keith Moon is available to buy in Paperback, Kindle and Audiobook versions from Amazon.

Many thanks also to our mutual pal Bill Sanders for connecting us up - much appreciated!
