Hi, John and thanks for your guestbook post.

Does anyone know whether the more recent “ Esoteric “ release of Monkey’s Bum is better than the Audio Archives release from 1995?

After a very long time (I'm 2 months shy of being 69) I once again began my love affair with The Rutles. From Rutles to Neil Innes, to the Bonzo's there was no way I couldn't research Ollie Halsall, especially with Neil Innes on his solo album, discovering a happy feet tune like "Momma B" and what I am most sorry about was not listening to Ollie's work sooner. As I am probably closer to the grim reaper, now is a better time than any to do some solid research. Thank you for this site. I'm stuck out in Kansas and what better way to listen to something creative than to put ones self in a most drab town and do nothing.

Ich habe ihn 1985 in der Band von John Cale in Bochum/Zeche gesehen. Ein großartiger Gitarrist. Sehr traurig, dass er so früh gestorben ist.
I saw him in 1985 in John Cale's band in Bochum / Zeche. A great guitarist. Very sad that he died so early.

Patto were a great band. Mike's unique vocal style and Ollie's fluid and inventive guitar playing. For me he is up there with the great Peter Green. Stumbled on this site and it's great to see a truly talented individual remembered and lovingly appreciated. Wouldn't it be nice if that 'forgotten' album was released? I'm sure someone on your site is working on that. Good work and good luck.

Thank, Paul. If by 'forgotten album; you mean 'Monkey's Bum', it was officially released a couple of years ago. Or do you mean something else?

The first time I heard Ollie playing was in 1974 on a radio show in Brazil, called "60 minutes of Contemporary Music". This program was relaying BBC concerts and the concert I heard was one from Tempest. In fact, I ended up meeting Ollie and Allan Holdsworth there. I was fascinated with the guitars but I didn't know at the time who they were. Only long after I found out who the two magical guitarists were. Since then I became a fan of both and I discovered their other works. Ollie with Patto and Boxer, Allan with Bill Bruford, Tony Willians Lifetime ... and the admiration has only grown. Ollie is surely the most underrated guitarist in the world.
