Moonrider's Keith West
John Tobler, ZigZag, August 1975
MOONRIDER have had tenuous ties with ZigZag since before they were born. John Weider forecast their birth in ZZ42, the group played a short set under a different name at our fifth birthday party at Dingwalls, and there's always interest among what we laughingly call the staff about their doings. As John Weider told his story before, this time the job goes to Keith West.
