A co-operation between Peter Frampton (remember him? sold an obscene amount of records in the mid 70´s) and Steve Marriott, resulting in no more than a few cuts because Marriott died.
On AMG Marriott is the only credited harmonica player, but I very much doubt that he´s the man here. This is not a whole lot of notes, but strong aggressive playing with just the right tone.
Any notion of who it could be in the UK (presumably) that could pull this off in circa 1990?

This is a wild guess but I'm sure around the late 80's early 90's a guy called Simon 'Honeyboy' Hickling who plays harp had something to do with Steve Marriott.

Would you Adam and Eve it! Good ol' YouTube ....


And checking his website it says he recorded a few CD's with Steve Marriott.

However could be him on harp or not.

Many thanks Marine1896. That was a new name to me. After I had thought about it for a while I came up with Peter Hope-Evans (played har w/ P Townshend et al) as a suspect -- but your candidate seems more likely.

The only other name that I thought of was Judd Lander.

I've only ever seen 'Honeyboy' Hickling once way back in the early 90's I'm not really my cup of tea but yep, I think he might be the cat blowin' harp on that.
