My band in 1979 learned Can’t Stand Losing You after I bought it for 25p in Woolies. Fitted our pop-reggae set well. Then the Police reissued it, it hit and we dropped it. Months later we played with Furniture (Brilliant Minds hitmakers) at the Moonlight Club and got an unexpected encore. Put it back into the set and brought the house down… Furniture were b@stards, served em right😈 -

I have got 90 per cent of my bands gigs, came up with the name and supply the PA. Yet I bend over backwards to give everyone an equal say. I thought I was okay with that, but have just joined a second band where all I do is turn up, play and obey what the BL says… BTW Keith (post two above), they never deserved you!

I have discovered that Nigel isn’t at all well. He fell, broke a few ribs and punctured a lung back around October and has since been in and out of hospital. He is back in at the moment. Nigel has been a stalwart of this board for many years and interacted with many of us. Please keep him in your thoughts. Edit: Updated with funeral arrangements

New autobiography of Stray singer-main man. I have Kindle edition so this is an unread duplicate. £12.50 posted UK Info: 240 pages paperback. Rock And Roll Survivor charts all the ups and downs of Del Bromham — guitarist, singer and songwriter for the rock band Stray. Del’s story takes you back on his ‘Time Machine’ to share recollections of his life. Born, and growing up in the 1950s. Becoming a teenager in London during the ‘swinging 60s’. Forming his first band and learning his musical apprenticeship playing the clubs at the age of fourteen years in his brothers group. Constantly on tour with Stray he recalls tales of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister and touring with Kiss and Rush to name but a few. Meeting the Mafia Boss Joe Pagano. His associations with Wilf Pine and Charles Kray (elder brother of the infamous Kray twins) at the offices of the equally infamous Don Arden, along with Arden’s daughter Sharon (who became Osbourne). Charting the ups and many downs of being a musician over fifty years in the music business. With forewords by life-long Stray fans, The Damned’s Captain Sensible and Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris, this is a true rollercoaster ride.

Yolanda Charles is doing one locally, but I have received Facebook flak for suggesting its a tad overpriced at £35. https://m.facebook.com/groups/209662726215011/permalink/1547836445730959/ What would you be prepared to pay?
