about
Bernie Marsden (born Bernard John Marsden on 7 May 1951; died 24 August 2023) was an English rock and blues guitarist remembered for his work with Whitesnake and for having co-written (with David Coverdale) some of the group's hit songs such as the multi-million selling chart-topper "Here I Go Again". Before Whitesnake he played with British band Babe Ruth, PAL (Paice Ashton Lord)and a short period in UFO. He also played as a session musician during this period. During his last two years with Whitesnake he recorded two solo albums: "And about time too" (1980) and "Look at me now" (1981). On both records appearances were made by Whitesnake colleagues. After his departure from Whitesnake he formed Alaska and later MGM together with Mel Galley who took his place in Whitesnake and the same bands bass player Neil Murray. Finally he once again teamed up with Micky Moody who he played along with in Whitesnake. They have through the years been together in different bands, for example: Moody Marsden Band The Snakes Company Of Snakes and M3 (together with Neil Murray) All these bands have released records.

To cap an entertaining day I was delighted to have David Coverdale on the phone from the USA singing "Happy Birthday" to me, now that is a very rare thing I can assure you! Thank you DC. Speaking of whom, just wait until Augus
