Sad news, but we are all reaching that time of our lives.
R.I.P. Rocket Man Bo and thanks for the great music.

[George Geddes]

I had the pleasure of interviewing Bo (and Bob Lander) for Pipeline,.some years ago. A gent and a great interviewee as well as a fine player with a unique sound.

RIP

I was lucky enough to share that occasion with George and totally concur, another sad loss.

Sad news, the Spotnicks with Bo have been my preferred band after the Shadows, I saw them twice on stage when they came in Dombasle (France) in 2006 and 2008.

Another pop/guitar legend gone, RIP Bo...

Although I am a massive Shadows fan, I was a huge fan of the Spotnicks too. As a young boy (!!!) I bought all of their Oriole UK singles back in the day. Latterly, I have accumulated many, many Spotnicks CDs. So, yes, just loved Bo Winberg....what a player!!! I was thrilled to be able to speak to him (albeit briefly) at the London Palladium Event set up by Hans Edler in 2003. What a lovely, lovely, modest and charming man he was - but what a great guitarist too. Thank you for the music and the memories Bo. RIP....Rob
