Early punk guitarist Wilko Johnson said “We started a band about the beginning of 1972. We were into r’n’b music, which wasn’t dreadfully fashionable at that time, but I liked that idea because that’s what I used to play. We had some rehearsals and I was saying, ‘We’ve just got to be like Johnny Kidd and the Pirates.’ My whole style was based on the Pirates’ guitar player, Mick Green. He was my hero and main influence” (John Robb, Oliver Craske, Punk Rock, 2012).
