The Mickey Finn

The Mickey Finn

Not the percussive Mickey Finn who was the other half of the commercially successful incarnation of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Guitarist Mick Waller changed his stage surname to avoid confusion wityhndrummer Micky Waller (Steampacket, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, The Jeff Beck Group(. Confused? It's all part of the service.

A cult band with Mod leanings, The Mickey Finn only put out a handful of singles, ... They were arguably the first British band to try their hands at ska- with their cover version of Bo Diddley’s Pills. (Rockasteria)
