An accomplished guitarist and muscian, he played the lead Guitar for Herman's Hermits . He played on many of the Band's early hits and composed songs with band mates Keith Hopwood and Karl Green . He had an ongoing rift with producer Mickie Most who used Session Musicians on the band's mid career hits despite the Hermits' more than acceptable skills as players. Leckenby is credited with arranging the band's first big hit, " I'm Into Something Good ." His skills on guitar and Dobro are most apparent on post Peter Noone releases such as the LP " A Whale Of A Tale " and the compilation " Vault 69 ". Derek Leckenby succumbed to Cancer on 4 June , 1994 , at the age of 51. |
