Letter: Danny Kirwan obituary

Peter Austin writes: Danny Kirwan played and recorded with Mick Fleetwood, Bob Hall, Bob Brunning and others including Memphis Lil in a band called Tramp

In addition to his early involvement with Fleetwood Mac, Danny Kirwan played and recorded with Mick Fleetwood, Bob Hall, Bob Brunning and others including Memphis Lil in a band called Tramp. It consisted of people who just enjoyed working together and liked the way each other played. An LP of the same name was released in 1969. I still have it, still play it – and it’s very good.
