Genesis – Genesis Live. Oh I was there. Stackridge – Pick Of The Crop. Ditto. The Who – Live At Leeds. An obvious choice so I could meet the student promoters I got to know later in life and who invited me to […]

Miss your tales from the Oscar ceremony and party afterwards. The mingles led me to Glossop Record Club and Charity Shop Classics on AllFM via Gavin Hogg.

Too many… er, to mention. I miss every one of them.

Oh no. His solo album Still is one of my all time favourites. Somewhere in my archives I have a note from him explaining what The Song Of The Sea Goat is all about. I’m gutted.

I’m currently sat on a train from Westhoughton to Southport facing an empty seat. I have just arrived at Wigan Wallgate. Off to drink beer and talk bollocks. Cheers.

What he meant to say was “Dave Stewart AND Barbara Gaskin”. Jakko plays on a few of their albums, often alongside other KC member Gavin Harrison.

Looking forward to it immensely and nervously. I am the first to speak for an hour. I am hoping I don’t run out of anecdotes. I know John from when he started promoting gigs. He certainly did not do it for the money.
