Jeff Beck’s brilliance

sir – A big thank-you for your excellent valete to Jeff Beck (Arts, January 13), England’s finest rock guitar player.

He completely transformed the art of playing the electric guitar, adding remarkable solos on dozens of hit records over the decades. And if you don’t believe me, ask Eric Clapton. Nick Stewart

Man in the Moon Records London SW6 sir – In your obituary (January 13) for Jeff Beck, you rightly note that Hi Ho Silver Lining has become a wedding dance floor perennial.

It is also the pre-match anthem of Sheffield Wednesday FC at Hillsborough, with the words suitably modified to “Hi ho Sheffield Wednesday”.

Up the Owls!
