    Was lucky to attend the jazz summer school that used to be held at Pimlico school here in London uk 40 years ago now! It was just an amazing time with Ted, Brian Spring and Brian Abrahams for us drummers, all very different cats I think you’ll agree. Interestingly both years Pete Lockett was there as a kit drummer, I didn’t see anything special in him back then really…lol..then he started to learn the tablas and..well…the rest is history!
    Ted was just so friendly as were all the tutors… he’d bring his full kit and we’d be in class just chatting, maybe 10 of us, while he played according to the general questions and flow of the classes.. heaven!

    Damn, I never knew we’d lost him. One of my favourite drummers. Saw him in Belfast with Rory in the early 80s. Took Rory’s music into a new dimension and after that was a hard act to follow. RIP Ted.

    Unbelievable that this lovely man and superb drummer has left us. Over the decades I saw him behind the kit in many bands, and more recently playing with Gerry McAvoy and Marcel Sherpenzeel in the "Band of Friends" here in my home town. After the show he came out to talk to anyone who wanted to talk to him and showed what a great guy he was. RIP Ted, a truly sad loss to the world of music.

    I wondered about commenting here as I only met Ted a few times. We saw a Damned gig together and he commented they were as ‘tight as an MFI wardrobe’ 😂😂 he still loved the anarchy of it but he was better than all that, a true perfectionist. I had a meal with him thanks to my friendship with his girlfriend and he told me SAHB stories that’ll never be printed. A gracious man, full of wit and humour. Down to earth and a great human being. Financially shafted all his life (Micheal you cunt, pay your band) but never bitter. Takes a lot to rise above that b.s. but not Ted, he was always on to the next thing. A true artist and sorely missed.

    Thanks for making this very special video of Ted.
    It was an amazing privilege to be Ted's bass player in McKenna's Gold. I think he was the best rock drummer in the world. He was my great friend and we had wonderful times together and I learnt so much from him. After the band broke up I became a Christian and Ted saw the change in my life and the peace I had. I sent him a gospel booklet and a book by Maurice Rowlandson which contained the story of my conversion and which also mentioned McKenna's Gold called 'I'm Going to Ask You ….', as well as Christian videos and music tapes. He told me how blessed he was by receiving these things.
    One day he told me of the special moment in HIS life when he was driving over a bridge in Glasgow listening to 'Place In This World' by Michael W. Smith and 'had a religious experience'. He told me it was very real. The Lord Jesus Christ touched his life in a personal and eternal way. . . . For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
