So Glenn Wheatley passed away overnight, aged 76, I remember seeing Masters Apprentices live, may of been Brookvale Oval, A Double J concert back in the early 70's.
Good band, really good.

Looks like Covid-19 got him!......

I put his age at 76, it should be 74 years of age, my mistake!

He did 16 months, tax evasion scheme I think, will check later!
Excellent band, very big stage presence, lead singer Jim Keays, in my earlier post I said I saw him at a Double J concert?..was a 2SM promotion, but at Brookvale Oval in maybe 1972, the year they broke up, but he played bass guitar in one of Matt Taylor's early Brisbane bands, a blues outfit Bay City Union, and of course he went on to form Chain!
But a better manager than bass player, have a feeling he also played in another Brisbane band, Railroad Gin.

The other day when Meatloaf died, I flipped through our vinyls and pulled out Bat out of Hell for a listen.
The album sitting directly before Bat out of Hell was by Masters Apprentices. (yes, I keep them alphabetically)

Their bond seemed to be on a deeper level, but yeah what a sacrifice Glenn made.

I haven't seen his younger brother yet to offer my condolences...

About 25ish years ago his younger brother managed a place I was working at.

Life moved on.

I work in the city looking after an apartment building and who happens to move in?

He remembered me much the same as I remembered him.

Haven't seen him since Glenn's passing. Hope he is ok.
