    Now sold £7 posted - the Glenn Hughes autobiography. An ideal Xmas pressie to yourself! Co-written with Joel McIver, this is all you need to know (and a lot more you didn't) on the man who links Deep Purple's family tree with Joe Bonamassa, Ozzy, the KLF and sundry other rock greats. Oh, and Lars Ulrich wrote the foreword. The cover is worth the money on its own...

    A band I was in used to take Tupperware containers to hoover up what was left at the end of the night. At the other extreme, in 1981 I was at a photo shoot for Women’s Own magazine - mock ye not, the fan mail I got was unprecedented. It was a ‘how to throw a Charles and Di street party’ feature. Their best cooks prepared the food and the assembled scouts and guys devoured it like locusts as we, the jazz band, played on...

    I have a few spare (mint) copies of books by my late great friend Deke Leonard in my cupboard, and it strikes me they would make great Christmas presents for those who like reading about 70s rock music (Maximum Darkness) and/or guitarists of all eras (Twang Dynasty). They are currently unavailable except for silly money on eBay or Amazon Marketplace; I will sell at the regular price and chuck in UK postage. A search of Deke Leonard on BC will find many fans of his witty and informative style. Charles Shaar Murray said "I wish I could play guitar as well as Deke Leonard writes..." I have posted the Amazon links below for further info, though as I say the titles are not officially 'in print'. The Twang Dynasty rrp £17.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DJI8KSY/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Maximum Darkness rrp £12.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Maximum-Darkness-Man-Road-Nowhere-ebook/dp/B00TYJZAQW/ref=la_B00458K95E_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1543423739&sr=1-2 Send me a PM and we can sort out details!

    Round our way the guitarists bring their new Les Pauls, retirement gifts to themselves, and learn how to play the 3 chord trick in public. Don’t suppose a new Precision has the same appeal... my ‘competition‘ is mostly returning oldies. Not kids

    I haven’t heard the expression ‘FMOB’ for fully 40 years. Made my day!😂

    Alex Phillips was rocking an Eros Jazz with Danny Bryant and Bernie Marsden last night!

    Her’s the dates?!? Methinks you are taking the female theme a bit too seriously 😁 Mike, have a blast and do let us know all about it - tour diary?

    But, like so many, he underachieved. The Barnstorm album was never bettered. And that was his first solo...

    That song can still reduce me to tears... absolute genius. ‘And Santa’s in his module, he’s anAmerican astronaut’ always brings a smile though

    Drummer does a Show called the Lindisfarne Story that’s also worth seeing. @wateroftyne knows them all well...😁

    Each to their own. I paid £62 for a ticket, but amazingly walking out didn’t hurt! i later learned Fripp’s cousin, who I guess got freebies, only lasted ten minutes. Guess he’s off the Christmas card list 😁

    Glad you enjoyed it. I walked out of Crimson at half time. Cacophonous and dreary ...possibly due to three full drum kits. Two too many IMO. Wouldn't life be boring if we all thought the same?!😁
  23. Mickeyboro
    Plus one for comfort strapp. My reserve is still unused!
  24. Mickeyboro
    Mags all the way for me!

    Hate it, hate it, HATE IT! Palmers first two albums are all time faves of mine with Lowell George and the Meters. Then he discovered cocaine...
