I remember GG and crew bringing the NEC show to the Colston Hall on a Christmas tour one year. It was huge and very entertaining. Shame he turned out bad. I auditioned for bassplayer for Jonathon King once as well .. Didn't get the gig ... Not pretty enough, I guess.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it rather depressing that some stupid old phuquer had got "Leader of the Gang" taken off the music syllabus purely on the grounds that GG was a paedo. I just don't see that the behaviour of someone 25+ years ago should make any difference/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
