Mick Ralphs(1944-2025)

Began playing guitar after getting inspired by "Green Onions" by Booker T and the M.G.'s, which he heard on Radio Luxembourg.

We lived in Malibu when the tax in England was ridiculously high and everybody was leaving the UK. We decided to cushion the financial burden and ended up living in California for six months in a rented house. We picked Malibu because it was about forty five minutes from LA, to try and get away from the madness, but of course we didn't, it just followed us out there.
