Independent label: A dead ringer for Mick Ronson
you would have thought that British singer-songwriter Jeff Briggs would have
capitalised on his looks by joining a Spiders From Mars tribute band. But he was
quite content to play on the British cabaret circuit churning out cod country
and western fodder including two privately-pressed discs. The first presents a
quartet of country covers including Jim Reeves. He appears on the cover with a
German Shepherd but from the way he's holding the poor pooch perhaps he was
taking his idea of friendship a little too far! The later 'Memories' EP takes
Jeff's apparent dog fixation further. Here there's not only a mutt on the cover
but we are treated to the self-penned Scruffy's Song Jeff was in-house
entertainer at Swansons Hotel, Jersey in the Channel Islands. Distributed
