Bob Weston Biography

Bob Weston is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on November 1, 1947 in Plymouth, England, United Kingdom.

Robert Joseph Weston (1 November 1947 – circa 3 January 2012) was a British rock guitarist, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac in the early 1970s. He also recorded and performed with a number of other musicians, including Graham Bond, Long John Baldry, Murray Head, Sandy Denny and Danny Kirwan.

Moving to London from Devon in the mid-1960s (he retained a soft West Country burr to his voice for the rest of his life), in 1967 he became the lead- guitarist with a mod-beat band called The Kinetic, which was based at the time in Paris, playing as a support act to Jimi Hendrix and Chuck Berry gigs in France. The band signed to the French label Disques Vogue and released into the French market a long-player entitled Live Your Life (1967), with Weston being the band’s principal songwriter, and two EP’s, Live Your Life (1967), and Suddenly Tomorrow (1967). The Suddenly Tomorrow EP drew notices in the British music press to the act as having commercial potential, but no more recordings appeared, and it disbanded within a couple of years of its formation.

In January 1973 Fleetwood Mac recorded the long-player Penguin, Weston playing the record’s distinctive slide guitar on the song “Remember Me”, and its harmonica and banjo tracks on “The Derelict”. He also sang a duet with Christine McVie on the song “Did You Ever Love Me”, and wrote the instrumental that closed the album, titled “Caught in the Rain”. Later in 1973 the band recorded its next album titled Mystery to Me. Weston contributed more distinctive guitar work, such as the slide intro on the song “Why”, and co- wrote the song “Forever” with Welch and John McVie. In retrospect, Weston felt that his contribution to the band’s work in this period did not receive the formal recognition that it deserved.
