Not many Rock and Roll Walters - did he have a Stage Name?

Saw them in a pub in Kensington in around 1980.

Any band that can piss off Bob Harris gets my vote (albeit strictly speaking that was the NYDs).

RIP. A good age for a (presumably) former heroin user

Harsh not to count Richard Hell. He may not have lasted too long in the band, and may have alienated the others, but he was integral in their formation and early days.

RIP Walter. Admirable that he made it to 71, and not surprising that he was the last of them, given the truckloads of heroin they took.

You can take a horse to Walter, but you can't make it drink, or take Heroin. Horses prefer hash . Apparently

Sorry, never heard of any any of them! They obviously weren't in a Krautrock Band.
