Ginger Baker, Last Rights play Colwyn Bay Pier

Last Rights were a Llandudno post-punk band who existed in 1979.

They featured; Sully (bass) (ex Harvest Moon, Steppin’ Stones), Rob Downes (gtr) (later Then Jericho), Doug Downes (drms) (later Big Waves, Picture Palace), Ronnie Watts (voc). Gigged throughout that year.

Former band mate Sully remembers, ‘We did many gigs around North Wales including a memorable one at Colwyn Bay pier supporting the infamous Ginger Baker. Ronnie was outstanding as a front man and would have given Johnny Rotten a run for his money any day. He later went on to perfecting covers by the likes of Pink Floyd, it was really moving at his funeral service when they played 3 tracks by Floyd including Comfortably Numb. Ronnie is sadly missed by all his friends and family. God bless you mate.’
