[@BilnBax]

Finally.. the real thing.. These are the guys as I remember first seeing them at SMU in Hfx. in 75. Thanks Matt!!

Some of the band would drop by Moes in Sydney. once in a while. Bobby would often sit alone on a stool by the window eating his Captain Capers Fish & Chips, reading the paper. To this day I really believe that the "red" album is the greatest rock and roll record to ever come out of the Maritimes. And as much as I love Minglewoods music, I still miss Enver and his harp. He made them sound different and unique. They were a very tight band right from the go.

[@susanyeadon6657]

kelticcaper I just watched this with tears in my eyes, Enver was the special sauce in this band and I believe they would have been far more successful had he not died. He gave me a lifelong love of the harp and the blues.

[@kristalmacleod3004]

Bobby was My FRIEND I think about him'

[@johnmason6213]

That was always the vibe when they played the Moon. Everyone was driven wild by the performance. It was an amazing time.

[@denniscrabtree2170]

They played at Dalhousie in their SUB in 1980 or 1981. It was very cold outside, and there was a coat check for attendees. About halfway through someone pulled the fire alarm! Obviously nobody wanted to go outside, but the fire department refused to enter the building until it was empty! After 20-30 minutes, Minglewood was back on stage doing a second set! Everyone ignored the fire department and went back into the auditorium for the second set! Definitely worth it!

[@MrGiantglory]

Talk about bringing back memories! The old Moon was my nemisis! Too much fun....

[@sideoiler427]

jesus the original band was tight and polished eh.....roly platt is great on harp,Michael pickett is outstanding but noone could bring it like enver could on that harmonica.

[@mr.timjohnston546]

Im repeating but so fucking what. .I was gonna make Enver Sampson a harp belt and he died. We met on several occasions in Pictou Nova Scotia at Billy and Bernard Chisholm's in St. John NB and Pictou at Bernards.. Your still the best at this kind of music. Nobody better. Haven't been to Pictou Lobster Carnival in 18/20 yrs but just found out your playing so I will be there.. this round. 2019 /05/07.. Hoping ya bring back the memories In sure ya will cheers Hey Jimmy O'Brian Glace Bay, how ya doing. .. Shannon In Pictou Shelburne boys...

[@seaforcinnamon]

Takes me back to the old Misty Moon!! I remember one night I thought I was having a heart attack during ECB... but I couldn't stop dancing! lol - I was about 18 at the time??

[@pheloniouspunk1417]

was a kid in a little town in BC during 70's and 80's and the cool older kids down the block used to crank out the Minglewood Band during house shaker parties and we'd all sing along like they were the greatest band on earth! Movin' was the LP at the time and we all had to get our hands on a copy when our folks took us to Calgary or Vancouver. Great memories! Thanks so much!

[@Mick_Farland]

East Coast PROUD!

[@artist45]

OMG...I remember the old Moon in Hfx. Partied there many, many nights. At the new Misty Moon, too. Saw some good bands there. Long John Baldry back in the early 80's was awesome. Oh, the memories..... :)

[@brucemaceachern299]

I used to drink in The Shingle Inn tavern in Sydney. When 'Last Call' was announced, the bartender would pass the mike to Enver and he would close the place, blowing harp. One night Matt was playing at Fred's in The Pier and I mentioned to him that there was a good harp player in the house called Enver Sampson. Matt called Enver up and a couple of weeks later he was full time in The Minglewood Band. God Rest His Soul.....

[@HalfTame]

Goddamn legends!

[@You8AllTheAcid]

Can’t tell you how many times this has been played in my household.

What an awsome band. Minglewood is still going as strong as ever 32 years later, and sounding as good today as he did back then.
