YoungWillz 21,066 Posted August 12, 2021 Death Notice for Mike Peters (aka Mike Best), bass guitarist with The John Barry Seven , who has died aged 84: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/251429/peters Difficult to tell how many of their hit records he played on, but if IMDB is correct, all of them. He's certainly on their first charting hit as he's up on the podium at the back, bass guitaring away on Hit Or Miss, the theme to Juke Box Jury (I've seen pictures on Google Books which confirm it's him): Yeah, not The Alarm Mike Peters either, before the smart aleck remarks come... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,066 Posted August 23, 2021 Travers was on my longlist for my 1985 Theme Team, reaching #1 with Chrissie Hynde with I Got You Babe that year. Didn't pick him, and in January 2021 they revealed he was undergoing a second brain operation - so it was only a matter of timing and time. RIP Brian.
