³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Kevyn Gammond has spent a lifetime rubbing shoulders with rock legends.

As part of the music scene in Kidderminster in 1960's he played in the legendary Band of Joy, alongside Robert Plant and John Bonham, who went on to conquer the world in Led Zeppelin.

A jam session with Capaldi and Mason at a Birmingham club led to a meeting with the legendary Bob Dylan, and a trip to a ruined stately home in Worcestershire to look for ghosts.

"I was in a group called The Shakedown, and Dave Mason and the gang used to come and jam at a club called The Elbow Room until about three in the morning.

"I think it was about the time of the first tour Dylan came over, in the mid sixties.

"We were 17 or 18 and he was in his 20’s and he was a good pal of Steve Winwood.

"He turned up at the Elbow Room and we’d all been jamming - Dylan didn’t actually join in – and when we’d finished playing we all headed off to Witley Court to go ghost hunting."

The ruins of the stately home, which was gutted by a fire in 1937, are the ideal place to go hunting for spooks, particularly at four in the morning.

Kevin says they didn't find any ghosts, but had a wild time looking for them.

Forty years on he can still remember his encounter with the young Bob Dylan.

"From what I can remember he looked a bit like he did on that first album – the corduroy cap, sheepskin coat.Ìý

"He always had a kind of cherubic look."

Kevyn now runs MAS records, the Kidderminster based label dedicated to uncovering and recording new talent from this area.

Robert Plant is the patron of the label, and still meets Bob Dylan on his Never Ending Tour:

"Each year our patron, Robert Plant, often bumps into Bob Dylan on the road and he says that at the start of the year Dylan gets out a pin, sticks it in the map, it can be anywhere in the world, and he goes and plays in that area."

Maybe he should play a gig at Witley Court - that might flush out any ghosts there are in the vicinity.

It all depends where the pin lands I suppose.
