DAN McCAFFERTY R.I.P. 1946 - 2022
Dan McCafferty, one of the founding members of Scottish hard rock group Nazareth, has died on November 8. He was 76.Born in Dunfermline, the star was known for his raspy vocals on ’70s rock classics such as Broken Down Angel, Hair Of The Dog and Love Hurts. He remained with the band until 2014, when he developed a lung condition that made it hard to breathe and was forced to retire. His death was confirmed by Nazareth bassist Pete Agnew. No cause was given.
“This is the saddest announcement I ever had to make,” Agnew wrote on Instagram. “Maryann and the family have lost a wonderful loving husband and father, I have lost my best friend and the world has lost one of the greatest singers who ever lived. Too upset to say anything more at this time.” - bbc.com

NAZARETH
London 1980 [no label, 1CD]
BBC Rock Hour. Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK; March 16, 1980. Very good FM broadcast.
Trailblazers for 1980s Scottish acts like Big Country, Wet Wet Wet, Del Amitri, Deacon Blue, and Texas? Very likely so. Heroes and inspiration for Guns N’ Roses? Most definitely. But the Nazareth story isn’t just another from-rags-to-unheard-of-riches tale of making it in rock‘n’roll.
