Birthday greetings and a bottle of convivial bubbliness to the man who Robert Fripp refers to in reverential tones as The Guv’nor. Mel Collins celebrates his birthday today.
Mel is of course over in the States with King Crimson where they are in rehearsal for the start of next week’s tour. It’s often easier to list who Mel hasn’t played with over the course of over five decades of being a professional musician.
However, Crimheads of a certain persuasion hold his contributions to Crimson with a special regard. You can pass on your birthday greetings to Mel via the guestbook and perhaps share with us your favourite Mel Collins moment both within Crimson and beyond.
