I thought I was doing well playing with the same guys for 12 years! I keep telling them that we've lasted longer than The Beatles - you've lasted longer than most modern music ...

Well done Bernard, I love these 'continuity' stories!  I'm still in touch with the guitarist from the 3-piece band we started while at school in Rochdale back in 1964.  When I moved down to London in 1970, my two buddies kept the band going and went on to greater things.  That's my 'nearly became a bit famous' story ☹️
