By Wildest Cats Weekender’s Ritchie Gee
Wildest Cats organiser Ritchie Gee with the late-great Sonny Burgess
Sonny Burgess (see full tribute on page 68) was not only a rockabilly legend but a well-known and ever-friendly figure at the UK’s Wildest Cats In Town Weekenders. In his own personal tribute, Wildest Cats organiser Ritchie Gee writes: Sonny played for me many times at the Tennessee rock’n’roll club in London and, of course, at The Wildest Cats In Town weekends, along with the other bandmembers of The Pacers, Kerr Kennedy on piano and Bobby Crafford on drums.
