Me and My Shadow by Babs Wilson

This is the Personal Lifestory of Brian 'Licorice' Locking and his Incredible Love of Life, Music and People.

His Amazing Musical Career spans from practising on my little toy mouth organ, to 'Skiffle' in the era of Lonnie Donegan, and the very beginning of the British Rock'n Roll Scene in London at the Famous 2i's Coffee Bar in Soho where 'struggling and starving' musicians and groups came to their fame or demise

This led to his tremendous Fame and Fortune with the Famous Shadows and Cliff Richard, until his personal beliefs led him to turn his back on it all and go back to a simpler lifestyle, only to be encouraged to return to the bigger music scene many years later and go on to become a Great Ambassador at Shadows Music Conventions in the UK and Worldwide right up until his passing. While participating with many other Musicians and Events, and offering advice as required, he made and maintained Wonderful Friendships with Love & Humour to everyone he met in all walks of life and situations, whilst delighting many with Live Music. He was equally happy in playing to anyone and anywhere, to individuals, in pubs, charity events, parties, up to famous venues in Paris and London, ......and he could 'talk the hind legs off a donkey'

So sadly missed but he will never be forgotten, especially not by me, his 'little sis' x
