Happy Jack Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 The last time I was there was 20 years ago for a County match. With the game pretty much wrapped up there was Curtley Ambrose guarding the boundary in front of us. A bunch of us invited him to come and have a beer with us - so he stepped over the rope and did exactly that. Quote

I've also jammed with the Scott brothers who were founding members of Egg Quote

Not that spooky though, considering your Egg is still fresh, whilst mine is excruciatingly rotten (for the uninitiated, Fleabag's Egg is from Oxford and still active, whilst mine had one or some member(s) from the Canterbury area and became defunct in the early 70s).

IMO Albert's rock and blues guitar style westernised Bob's songs, positioning it for more mass appeal. Blue Quote

fleabag Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I wasn't there, but i did go one better and had jam with them and friend Jerry, who was the 2nd guitarist i think. The first guitarist was Mark Revell, another friend of mine but left many years ago. Just a thought .. look for VENICE BEACH track by The Egg on yootoob. Guitar played by my pal Jerry Never mind - here it is [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fH5r-l_HLE[/media] Track off their first album with original guitarist Mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm3G9QDobFQ Edited June 13, 2017 by fleabag Quote
