 Pirates members: John Weider
John had developed his chunky style of chord chopping and severe string bending after his hero Mick Green so was dead chuffed to receive an invitation in the summer of 1964 to join the Pirates from no less than the 'Guv'nor' himself.
The band toured Hamburg for the month of January but as Weider was only 17 and no-one under 18 was allowed after 10 pm into the St Pauli area (just off the notorious Reeperbahn, where the clubs were located), he could only work two days.
Police patrols would systematically sweep the clubs at 10 o'clock for young musicians and club patrons so his place was taken for the rest of the tour by Barry Hammett of the Primitives, a group that supported Kidd and co. on a bill at Ammanford in November '64.

 Rock / Blues - Jim Weider & the Honky Tonk Gurus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Weider has been touring internationally with the famed Woodstock based ensemble since 1985, and a few of his band mates join him on his solo effort.
It’s clear to hear that Weider paid his dues, and it’s easy to visualize a young boy working his fingers raw in some garage practicing his scales and arpeggios while everybody else was playing baseball.
Weider squeezes the entire range of the human condition, feelings from fierce agony to joyful exultation, through his guitar in this slow blues that could stop a freight train dead on its tracks.

 A Family Affair: Reviews of Family Albums
Grech would stay on during part of the tour while a replacement was sought out, and John Weider would become Family's new bassist midway through the tour, but Grech's failure to give adequate notice efffectively discombobulated Family at the worst possible time.
When Family went into the recording studio in late 1969 to make their third album, with new members John Weider and Poli Palmer, the stakes couldn't have been higher; they had suffered various blows throughout the year, and it seemed as if the group was irrecovably damaged.
Weider's rough bass certainly helped, and Palmer contributed an awesome array of skills as a pianist, flutist, and vibraphone player, but the remaining original members were no less potent.

 Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by progressive rock band Family called BBC Radio 1971-73
The years 1971-73 saw the band consolidating their prog-rock leanings, with Poli Palmer adding distinctive vibes and flute and John Weider's violin giving an almost gypsy dervish flavour.
The tracks from the 1971 sessions have a toe in the band's recent past with a fine version of 'Part Of The Load' which featured on the album 'Anyway'.
By November 1971's session prog journeyman John Wetton had taken up the bass residency in the band.
