Very sad. Saw him just a few years ago, well, ten years ago. He still had it.

I only discovered John several months back and have been enjoying his albums. He may not have been a household name but his influence is unbelievable

One of the very first albums I ever owned as a kid (I was twelve I think) I got as a Christmas present from my mum. It was John Mayall's Beyond The Turning Point.
I remember a track on it had a really long harmonica solo - and I think it was live. Might have been called Room to Move? And it's staggering that I can even remember that! Must look that up.
But RIP Mr Mayall. Massively influential in the 60's apparently during the British blues boom, which was a little before my time for appreciating music.
I'd stick my neck out and say another true legend gone.
