Some excellent and funny stories of his life on Youtube.
"We played good music then Dylan comes up and asks us to back him on a world tour, We were happy doing our stuff playing to some great crowds and having a really good time, so then we work hard learning and rehearsing all these songs and set of around Europe and every night, every fucking night we were going out playing this music and everybody was booing us! Right from the get go, we're playing. Bob's singing and there's thousands of people booing us! Then we travel and set up and play and they're all booing, and we just looked at each other and thought, "What is all this shit?"

Dickie Bird on BBC talking about his mate Parky went way over time and had me in bits.
Really touching bit of tv. Except when his top set kept slipping but he did well to do that. He's 91 or something...
