The Ballad Of Chilli Willi And The Red Hot Peppers

Andy Childs, ZigZag, October 1974

Saturday, 8th June 1974: NOT EXACTLY the best gig I've seen the Willis play, but one that sticks out in my memory as being one of the most eventful: the venue was Oriel College, Oxford, a bastion of traditional education, and inhabited, it appears, by drongos who know as much about rock music as I do about brain surgery.
