Dale Griffin a.k.a. Buffin

(18 Sep 2009) As many of you will know, over the past few years, Buffin's health has not been too good, therefore, it has been decided, with great reluctance and despite his fervent desire, that he will be unable to participate as fully as he would have wished in the up-coming concerts in Monmouth and Hammersmith.

He has been practising hard with the other members of Mott the Hoople for the past five weeks and he will be at both venues and will participate as much as it is felt his health will allow. It will be obvious to anyone who knows him that he would be devasted to miss what, after all this time, has been his dream, that is to say, to have all the original members of Mott the Hoople back on stage together, playing to all the loyal fans who also had the same dream.

In view of this, Martin Chambers (the Pretenders), also a 'Herefordshire lad', an exceptional drummer himself and a huge admirer of Buffin, will take over the drummer's chair when Buffin feels he is not able to.

However, despite all this, please be assured that Buffin will be there and Mott the Hoople will be re-united on stage again.
