Hughie Flint

Hughie Flint (born 15 March 1941) is an English retired drummer, known for his stint in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers during the early 1960s, mainly for his contribution towards their album Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton (1966).

Despite featuring the production skills of Glyn Johns and the accompaniment of pianist Nicky Hopkins, their second album Happy Birthday, Ruthy Baby proved to be the end of the original line-up.

Flint and McGuinness teamed up with Dennis Coulson and Dixie Dean to release the album Lo and Behold in 1972, which consisted solely of obscure Bob Dylan covers.

Flint played with the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band in November 1971 and appeared with them until their final album, Let's Make Up And Be Friendly, released in March 1972.

[citation needed] Flint's last band-based venture was The Blues Band, a supergroup whose other members were Dave Kelly, Gary Fletcher, McGuinness and another Manfred Mann veteran, singer Paul Jones.
