Brian Matthew’s SOTS did a special on him on Radio 2 Saturday morning. I had a little bop around the kitchen; what a fantastic talent, stolen from us too young like so many. He lives on forever through the music.

Amazingly the 16 year-old pianist on that Eddie Cochran tour was Georgie Fame who still does a full touring schedule afaik

My brother is a volunteer helper at Chippenham museum. He has been on duty all weekend as they have had a lot of pilgrims visiting.

Rod.

He died while touring Britain with Gene Vincent in 1960..he was only 21 years old when he was killed on the A4 in Chippenham Wiltshire in a motor accident..the accident also virtually ruined the career of Gene Vincent who was never the same again..there is a plaque on a lamp post on Rowden Hill that commemorates the event

When I was little me and my grandad used to sing and dance to ‘com’on everybody’
My grandad died in 1996 when I was 11yrs old. So now whenever I play that song I think of him.

Fifty years since Eddie past away, long may his great music continue to be heard ,rock on eddie

Have to agree, one of the greatests
