Mick Fleetwood speaks out
Posted Sat 15 Oct 2011

 First my regard for Billy Thorpe as a long time freind is forever. And him as a musician with a far reaching talent that is reserved for only  the few is without question.

His influence , inspiration,are  being felt to this day in the music community.

 

Billy's now nominated  album (his last) is a shinning example of this musical power.

 Which get's me to the point  of this letter.!!!     My opinion about the low-life

 critical comments on the merit's  of Billy Thorpe's right to be nominated I find to be indefensible,

 and proof that anyone subscribing  to such crap is showing one NO class ,but most of all a total lack

of knowledge as to Billy's musical  legacy!!!!.

 

 Billy it is my fervent wish that your family get's to take the  VICTORY walk . And it will always

be an honor to have been your freind ,and to have shared a stage  with you.

 

       I love you Bill

   A tall drummer .xxx

Mick Fleetwood.

I had the privilege of writing and conducting several of the orchestral arrangements for Billy's final opus, "TANGIER". What struck me was that everyone involved had such a deep respect for the material and Billy's legacy, they were determined to go the extra mile. The profound contribution Billy made to the Australian music industry will never be forgotten. Fortunately, the same will not be said of Mr. Zuel. Ashley Irwin
