Wot no talking tree thingies?

If you give me a clue as to your appearance I’ll look out for you in the crowd scenes. I saw Joe Jackson at Eric’s in The Pool of Life when he was touring Look Sharp! He along with his bandmates were ensconced in […]

I have absolutely no memory of Peace being part of the evening’s entertainment. Maybe they didn’t do The Stadium gig. I shall investigate. Edit. I’ve just had a bit of a quick Google and yep it was Peace in […]

The very one Cat. It’s a much desired tome it seems.

I have a copy of the book to which Charlie makes reference, Folklore Myths and Legends of Britain. I’ve had a copy for donkey’s years. I just looked it up on Abe books and discovered that copies are going for over […]

I’ve watched it too. I enjoyed it’s enthusiastic but tongue slightly in cheek vibe.

It must have been as I’m sure Queen weren’t the support the time I caught them. In all honesty I can’t remember who were the support when I saw them but I know it wasn’t Queen. In my defense it was fifty three years ago.

Our paths may have crossed as I was in attendance for most of those gigs. I didn’t see Bad Company. The first band I saw there was Mott The Hoople when I was a mere stripling of fifteen years and the last gig I […]

Still do. They gather outside the flat like seagulls around a bag of chips.

I just entered my teenage years and never bothered to start shaving. Nature took over. My Mam said I looked like Robert Powell in Jesus of Nazareth. No idea why It’s not as if I wore sandals.

Maybe they did. I had very long hair a full beard and smelled of weed and patchouli oil. Does that jog your memory? 😉 I remember the criminally nasty business to which you allude. It did take place at that gig al […]

The last gig staged there was Ultravox and Eddie and the Hot Rods in December of ’76. I wasn’t in attendance. Roger and Pete decamped in ’77 with Roger taking his booking contacts with him to set up Eric’s. The […]

They gigged a lot. We booked them for a college hop in 1972 along with Arrival and a couple of other acts whose names escape me. They must have played Quaintways in Chester three or four times and maybe more than […]

Nothing wrong with your memory. It was early in the year as I remember it.

A very generous mutual friend is doing me an incredible kindness. My search for this illusive disc is now concluded. A good day. A gold day.

It’s been years since I owned a laptop or computer and I’ve completely forgotten how to rip and burn discs tbh. I assume there must be a way to burn a bit perfect copy but I’m buggered if I know how. I can walk […]

Isn’t that a Judee Sill song?

Careful now.

Ah ok thanks anyway. I’ll continue my search then. I missed that one on Discogs. I’ll have another look although that’s a little more than I’m prepared to pay.

Just received an email informing me that it is now being dispatched. Fingers crossed for tomorrow or Monday.
