hi rastasis, i played before him at one of his gigs about 7 or 8 years ago. he's definitly not white. certainly not an aussie either. i dont know what his link to the wailers is, didnt get to speak with him, but he is a black man.

~The Natty Wailer I know is more of a medium brown than an actual black & he was touring as The Wailers Band keyboardist in 1999ish. I hung out with him a few times & he even gave me a CD of his under his own name, "Natty Wailer".

~I highly doubt that Bob would hire a white GUITARIST from a rock band as his tour cook to provide authentic Jamaican cuisine while enduring the hardships of touring.

Here's a poster from one of Natty Wailer's Irish gigs:

im not saying he is white..
ian wynter who ""natty wailer"" poses as is white..
this came not as hearsay i asked after him when i went home too J.A, after christmas 2008, he is a imposter!!
and me and he live in the same town Galway,
he was never a cook, nothing he is no one.
wailer is a surname given too the most high of the band,
as i said that alone tells the truth
imposter man,, come out me town and just be ya self

( from the offivial judgement statement )

He is the keyboard player on many Bunny Lee and Familyman sessions.

I never heard of the aussie namesake.

Here's the Aston Barrett court case details.

Click the link and scroll down to the list of witnesses and you will find the name Ian Winter, followed by these remarks...............




Ian Winter ("Natty Wailer"). Mr Winter is a musician who also looked after the building in which the band played and in which some of them lived. Without wishing to sound disrespectful, Mr Winter was not a core member of the Wailers; although he was more than just a hanger-on. I had the impression that he was doing his best to recall events as he perceived them. However, he was not in possession of the full picture and, not surprisingly after this lapse of time, his memory was hazy on details.

Hi Inyaki!

I checked an old thread on another forum that we both posted on, and that's where I found the link to the court case.

Small world!

Sorry about the double post.

right.. before people wanna get up and tell me im wrong read carefully.

IAN WYNTER, ALSO SPELLED WINTER AND IAIN.
is a white man who played out with BOB Marley and also in a band called Carlson.

the black guy, who tours ireland and lives in Galway and his Manager/wife is delphine, is a imposter, he calls himself natty wailer. SIMPLE

ian wynter did appear in family mans london court case yes, the white man.

the guy knows chris blackwell, thats how they hooked up

this natty wailer imposter did his homework too pick
a fake background of someone there is no photos with bob or the band, theres very few of him, so well done too him
for being false and pretending too be someone else.
its his child i feel sorry for at the end of the day as i said, just be himself play out as himself

Rastsis.. done out over and for dem dat nah understand, ya long

Don't know about the colour of his skin but the court have listed this man as Ian Wynter "Natty Wailer" (keyboards?).

I've always had my doubts about the man living in Eire (Republic of Ireland) who bills himself as "Natty Wailer" (guitarist?) because in an interview he claimed he played on the albums "Work", "Guided Missile" & "Songs Of Freedom". Neither The Wailers (without Bob) or Bob Marley & The Wailers recorded albums with those titles. "Songs Of Freedom" being a latter day compilation.
