WARWICK 'WALLY' NIGHTINGALE
Memorial Plaque
Mortlake Crematorium London
October 2022
Wally
Nightingale is forever associated with the origins of the Sex Pistols,
departing the embryonic band in 1975 when Steve Jones switched to
guitar thereby ousting Wally. This took place prior to John Lydon's
arrival. A lack of recognition for his contribution to the song 'Did
You No Wrong'
was a source of much resentment. He passed away in 1996.
Kev Harris: "I've been organising a plaque for
Wally Nightingale at Mortlake Crematorium London. The plaque
has now been put up (7th October) and can be viewed in the Room of
Remembrance. Wally's niece and her mum (Wally's sister) have ok'd it.
Myself and fellow Pistols fan Paul Parry financed it."
Hats off to Kev and Paul for their initiative and seeing this through.
Well done.
