Always thought it a bit strange that The Feelgoods manager got rid of Pat & Buzz because he didn't think they were suitable replacements for Fig & Sparko (which quite obviously as you can see, they were) but thought Robert Kane was a suitable replacement for Pete Gage.
Kevin Morris: "Originally, the singer Lee Brilleaux started the group, but when he died in 1994, we were unsure whether to carry on. However, everyone, the fans, agents, promoters all insisted that we should. We waited a year and then recruited Pete Gage as the new frontman. After a while, it was obvious that it wasn’t working. There was discontent in the group and Pete Gage wanted to go on to do other things. We didn’t want difficulties on stage, a group is like a marriage, and we decided to divorce. I got on very well with Pete and he is happy now doing his own thing. Previously we had come across Robert Kane singing with the 60s group The Animals. He was their replacement for Eric Burdon. We knew if he could sing the Eric Burdon hits with their wide range, he would be able to perform our songs"
I unfortunately didn't get to see this short lived lineup ,I thought the members certainty had the credentials ,being ex member's of Lew Lewis and the Count Bishops surely says it all .

Three bishops and a doctor 👍

Lee Brilleaux brings it
Lee could do some real damage with that harp...a match for any blues man from any era..
This is how you do it!

The last great Dr Feelgood line up.
scatcatcnut - The following one with Gordon Russell wasn't bad either...
Even the last one was a good line up. Steve Walwyn is a great guitarist. The singing is the problem after Lee. But not the playing.
indeed it was
Half this line-up is The Count Bishops
Where is le son?
Whoever ditched these 3 guys made a huge mistake , compared to those that came after, a massive error
No WILKO NO DR FEELGOOD
