I used to watch Patto regularly in The Greyhound, Fulham Palace Road in the early 70's. A great band, underrated in their lifetime. Ollie was a brilliant distinctive guitarist.

as a former chicagoan i still have 3 copies of the first patto lp releassed on the chicago based mercury record!!
ollie's guitar on loud green song and piano on turn turtle are quite possibly a few of musics most sublime moments ever

Hi, I witnessed Patto in Norway on tour with Ten Years After in '72. Later I found the yellow album and the Hold your Fire-album. These are two gems in my collection. I also enjoy his playing on Ayers' "Sweet deceiver".
Only recently found this site. Thanks for the work you put in.

I grew up in southport but never got to see R and B inc . Can you put a link to an MP3 of Peter Abraham by Patto . It mentions some of the Southport characters from that era.

Great site , thanks.

The guy was a bone fide genius. His playing just blows me away. What a terribly sad loss to a music world that in some ways really let him down.
God Bless Ollie!

Absolutely Ollie's fan. Hold Your Fire is one of the best records of all the time.

Ollie, era mi amigo, estuvimos de gira con Kevin en Japón, se empeño en que fuese manager de Corcovado, pero no funciono. Me trajo a Toni a casa en la sierra para intentar desngancharle, antes de la gira de Radio Futura, yo no pude, pero el creyó que si podría, y cayó.
Me faltan nuestras discusiones sobre música y motos, nunca estábamos de acuerdo, porque su Guzzi era muy fea.

BabelFish translation:
Ollie, was my friend, we were of tour with Kevin in Japan, persistence in which was to manager of Bent, but I do not work. It brought to me to Toni to house in the mountain range to try to desnganchar to him, before the tour of Future Radio, I I could not, but it thought that if could, and it fell. I need to our discussions on music and motorcycles, never we agreed, because its Guzzi was very ugly.

1st heard in Atlanta, 1977 on the June 1, 1974 album. "who the hell is that playing the guitar?"

After a few years of reading about Ollie, last month I could eventually lay down my hands on a copy of "Hold your Fire". MY GOD, what I have missed so far! Gonna catch up, though.
Regretting this interesting human being is no longer with us...

I see someone on Ebay UK is selling a copy of the Guitar mag is the Terry Theise article on Ollie.
