How can you go wrong with the Damned? Especially when you’ve got the Captain on guitar. I once bumped into Rat Scabies in an off-license (liquor store) in Brentford. As you...

We were young(ish) so it was a good excuse to steal this signed 40″ x 60″ poster from the table of the Mexican restaurant where the after show party was happening. O well. Clearly it was a good...

  The brotherly love tour featuring two great bands, each led by two brothers. Move over Ray and...

One of my all time favorite bands, Budgie are the true masters of the guitar riff. I managed to get singer/ bass player, Burke Shelley to sign it, and a number of their records, at the Sunderland...

A huge display panel I found in LA. One needs a big wall to display it. Currently residing in...

Buddy Guy at the intimate Borderline in London. He’d just put out the “Damn Right, I’ve Got The Blues” record on...

Yup, Andy Powell is still doing his thing with the Ash. And very well too. Great to see the Flying V again. The tour was funded by...

One of the most bizarre lineups of all time. And we got to see it at the 1983 Reading Festival. The Move/ELO’s Bev Bevan and the Child In Time himself with Iommi and Butler. And a replica of Stonehenge. Jaws dropped. Here’s the set….. Supertzar Children of the Grave Hot Line War...

I recognize Wayne and Garth, but who are the other guys??? Even worse than comic...

Just like it says on the...

A nice little note from Kylie. She’s a...

This is an original from Sebastopol’s flea market. It was designed by Sebastopol’s own Stanley Mouse in 1977. I really love this...

The ticket design budget was lacking, and the sets were very short, but it was a fine show. Here are the set lists… Hell Bent for Leather Delivering the Goods Running Wild The Ripper White Heat, Red Hot Beyond the Realms of Death Sinner The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown)...

Unfortunately it’s not an original, but I love it anyway. Paul Rodgers is one of my holy trinity of vocalists (as opposed to frontmen – whole different thing), the other two being Stevie Marriott and Frankie...

Gram had cult status in the UK, and bands like The Lemonheads started talking about him in the music press in the 90’s. I remember standing at the bar at this show and a young guy seriously asking me what time Gram would hit the...

At the time I would have given my back teeth to have been there. Would love to hear about it if you were...

Smashing wee promotional “havasack” supporting the original DVD release on Criterion. Handy when riding one’s...

An early liquor-artist partnership. He looks like...

I love the Radio Kaos record. At the time, it felt very different to everything else that was going on. He only played two dates in Europe. The last 2 shows were at Wembley and I caught the second to last. It was amazingly interactive for its time with audience phone in requests, mock...

I’m pretty sure I enjoyed it, but I remember reading a review of the show a couple of days later (pre web!). It said that the typical looking road crew – biker shirts, beards, bad unkempt hair, tracksuit bottoms, flashlights and generally pretty scruffy (I’ve roadied a...
