I love this shot of George in the early 70’s. So wish I’d met the great...

 They were a bit “clean” for me. I think that they wore capes. But maybe I imagined that. A fun Sunday night though with my fellow Northern English pal, Mr Dave Shack. Epilogue – Nov 20th 2015 – and via the Shackster….just met Steve and Merv from FM tonight at...

I love the Banshees. They’re so original and creative. This was a show held in a big top tent in North London. The line-up was Wire, Gaye Bikers on Acid, Psychic TV, and The (awful in my opinion)...

I love Coverdale’s voice but thought Whitesnake were pretty much rubbish by 1982. His two late 70’s solo records are excellent, as it the Trouble album – great white blues rock a la Humble Pie. But then it went all wrong – they ripped off the LA hair bands and he got a...

This is one of my most treasured pieces. I was given it by Ron the Magician who’d got it for $7 at the Sebastopol flea market. It’s worth about $1,500. But I’ll never sell it. It’s priceless to...

I could have cried when I was given this amazing piece. As a Who nutter, being given a platinum disc with my name on it was something I could never even dream of. It’s on my office wall now and always brings a smile to my face. Thank you...

A tasty 60″x40″ poster from ’98. I’ll get around to framing it one day. And when we have more...

My friend Curtis was Phil Collen’s guitar tech for a few years and gave me a few passes to stand next to him at the side of the stage at this show. As soon as we got there, he took me over to the guitar rack and pointed to a guitar which I immediately recognized belonging to...

Joe and the Mescaleros. It’s funny but I thought I saw him at the Troubadour rather than The Palace on this tour. Does anyone remember this show at the...

Made up of members of Wilco, Soul Asylum and The Jayhawks – what a pedigree! I distinctly remember them doing an amazing version of Elvin Bishop’s Fooled Around and Fell In Love. I’m pretty sure it was sung by Gary Louris. A fine...

Any band who’s got a song called “Little Ramona’s Gone Hillbilly Nuts” is good enough for me. Such a fun band. If you don’t know them, check ’em...

A truly great lineup – Lizzy, Alex Harvey, Frankie Miller, Aerosmith and more. Wish I’d been there, but sadly I...

The Who’s football team posing in support of their 1976 Who Put The Boot In tour of British football...

One of my prized possessions. This is an original shirt that I was given as a “thank you” in New York, 2004. I’ve worn it for my last two Macca...

They were a Faces knock off, but not a bad one. They used to go to our favorite London club at the time, The St Moritz. One of our crew, Eric, had a tendency to fall asleep wherever he was. I distinctly remember humble Eric snoozing away and lying on one of the only two benches in the club,...

  Slade the Leveller and his lads at Newcastle Riverside. Great band, great venue, great...

Another flea market find. I still wear it once in a while. Great...

A nice disc I was given by Columbia for the platinum certification for John Mayer’s debut album. Never liked his lyrics much, but boy, what a guitar...

My pass from the Wembley Stadium show in 1990. Virgin’s PR company was working for them at the time – handy! A fine show...

I remember being really excited that one of my favorite artists was going to play the hallowed ground of Sunderland Association Football Club. I took a couple of days off work and headed up North with great anticipation. Well it was pretty awful. I was gutted. He had Peter Frampton on guitar,...
