 KOK
: How did you initially get the job as replacement for Pete
Quaife?
JD : The Kinks were with an agent called
Arthur Howes. Their top booker was a guy called Bill Fowler, who
was a friend of mine, and also used to be The Mark Four’s road
manager. When Pete was injured on his scooter, Bill was given
the job of finding a quick replacement, it took him a few hours
to talk me into at least going for an interview. The interview
was on June 9 1966, at Carling Music, Savile Row.
I can’t remember having to
play much, I think they just wanted me to look all right... and
be an Arsenal supporter.

Auditioned as a temporary replacement
for Pete Quaife on Thursday 9th June 1966 at Carling Music, Savile Row, London.
Appeared on Top of the Pops on the same evening at BBC Television Studios,
London. The first live gig was two days later at The Plaza, Kings Heath,
Birmingham with no time for rehearsals! This was quickly followed by a tour to
Norway and Spain. The first recording session was on 26th June 1966 at Pye
Studios, London for "Little Miss Queen Of Darkness". Recorded "Dead End Street"
on 28th October 1966 during the evening session (without Shel Talmy !). Many
tours followed until Pete decided to return to the Band.
Back as a a full time member on 5th
April 1969 for a TV show "It's Dee Time". Whatever happened to Simon Dee ? First
recording session in this second spell was in May 1969 at Pye Studio #2 ("Drivin"
and "Mindless Child Of Motherhood"). Spent most of June recording the "Arthur"
album. My first (eagerly awaited) American Tour started on 17th October 1969 at
The Fillmore East, New York. The tour lasted nine weeks and included places like
The Whiskey A Go-Go in Los Angeles and The Fillmore West in San Francisco.
Early in May 1970 saw the arrival of The
Baptist (aka John Gosling) on keyboards. His audition was playing piano on
"Lola" (not a bad song to have as your first recording !). Baptist was then
whisked off on his first tour of America where he was quickly taught how to
consume large quantities of ALCOHOL (which he is still very good at today).
For the next six years we did many tours
all over the world having loads of fun and drinking lots of beer. These are some
of the more memorable gigs in that time :
· The first one - The
Plaza, Kings Heath, Birmingham, UK
· Hotel Milkar, Beirut, May
1969
· My first Filmore East
(17th Oct 69) and Filmore West (27th Nov 69)
· Santa Monica Civic
Auditorium (10th November 1969)
· The 1971 Australian Tour
in June 1971
· Carnegie Hall (2nd & 3rd
March 1972)
· Hollywood Palladium ()
· Drury Lane 14th Jan 1973
· Royal Festival Hall 8th
June 1973
· White City 15th June 1973
· London Palladium 16th
June 1974
