However, with the gig scheduled for November 2012, the announcement of Johnson’s terminal illness led to the cancellation of the show. Wilko handed Tom his famous Fender Telecaster and said, “Show me how you do it?” The pair then jammed together, with Hamilton-Hughes receiving a guitar master class from the R&B icon in the process.Įncouraged by this encounter with one of his heroes, Hamilton-Hughes then sent Johnson a demo The 45s had recorded, which impressed him so much he gave the band the support slot for his date in their hometown.
After Johnson had given the aspiring rocker his autograph, he then asked Johnson about his playing technique. Johnson and The 45s guitarist Tom Hamilton-Hughes first met two years ago when the then 14 year-old blagged his way backstage at a gig in Kendal. When I asked him, “ Where were we when that was recorded?”, he told me it was a young band from Carlisle called The 45s. When I first heard them I thought my manager was playing a version of a Dr Feelgood song I hadn’t heard for years. Johnson, who is terminally ill with pancreatic cancer, believes The 45s – who are all 16 years-old – are the next generation of R&B sensations, saying, "The 45s are my favourite band. The gig, which takes place at the island’s Oysterfleet Hotel, will see Johnson join the Carlisle-based group to play some classic Dr Feelgood songs, before The 45s headline the show.
