Eeeh, epic gigs. Greatcoat pockets stuffed with big bottles of cider, speeding me tits off, up all night, deaf next day.

Sparko lives just down the road from me.
Infact he did some repair work on the roof of my house not so long back.
We managed to turn over a well know nasty Insurance company for a bit of dosh. :)
At the time he was thinking about putting his P-Bass up on Ebay.


Good show tonight onn BBC4.

The stuff after was interesting too .. Norm looked like Phil Lynot's cousin back then and the Stiff stuff was great.
Who'd have thought Elvis's glasses were fake :)

Nice to know he's not too old for a blag.

He still is. You should catch the Wilko Johnson band when they tour (Norman on bass, too!)

I was curious to watch it as someone I know ( he's a long time DF fan) provided some archive material which was used. He got invited down to London for the weekend for the premier.

I recorded it to view again tonight. Wilkos version of the chicken neck walk was always a classic. I was a little too young to really notice them till [i]milk & alcohol [/i]after Wilko had left. Then punk came along...

It'll be repeated im sure maybe soon so keep a watch out if you want to see it. Otherwise its on bbci player for a week It is 1.2Gb though for those with download limits.

Whos the guy at the top ?

Shame that the gig shown afterwards wasn't with WIlko in the band (although worth keeping on the hard drive for the Blockheads set)
