Though he was born in Wales, Spencer Davis and group are most associated with Birmingham. I know (or knew) many of the old school 'Brummie' musicians, though not Davis.

Here's a link to a yet to be updated site which covers the bands of Birmingham and the Midlands.

Spencer Davis Group

The Golden Eagle pub, mentioned in the article was still a thriving live music venue into the 1980s. It was eventually demolished as part of the redevelopment of Birmingham city centre. There's a car park where the pub once stood. They call it progress.
 
I love ZZ's old, pre-synth stuff, and liked when they got back to basics in the 90s. One of my favorites:


There's more; I've learnt a few of Dusty's basslines for gigs here and there when subbing in on bass. He and Beard were a rock-solid rhythm section.

Sympathies to his family, including the band.
