Natty Wailer?

[Collie]

Anybody hear of this bloke? Played a gig here in Dublin recently.Apparenlty played with The Wailers since early '70's. I never heard of him, checked all the BMW stuff I have (since ,73). And guess what not listed in this here Roots Archive. Bandwagon or what ?

Would be good to find out what his real name is, that should make things easier, to place him

But probably he's just an imposter, a bluffmaker

[Judge Knotty]

One thing for sure, Rita Marley & Chri$topher Blackwell would probably like to discuss old times with this Natty Wailer man!

sounds like somebody who went to a wailers show and met them for 5 minutes then afterwards declared himself an honorary member

Thanks for all the replies, thought I had suffered a major outbreak of short term memory loss (a side effect so I'm told). Check out this site and make your own minds up.

I heard that Family Man got him the job as tour cook for the wailers in the 70's ... Can anyone verify this?
