A wee thank you from Dido – one of my guilty pleasures and perfect for when in the bath. The record. Not Dido....

I could have stayed at home and listened to the record, but the allure of drummer Sib Hashian’s hair was just too...

A promotional rubik’s cube produced by Virgin as a giveaway. Each side features a different record – Leps, Breakfast Club, U2, Police, Go-go’s and a big old Virgin logo. It’s rad...

Now that’s a backstage...

I love Tom, and this was extremely special as it was written by my great friend, fellow Pettyfile and amazing journalist, Melinda...

Macca was amazing. There was a rumour going around that he’d rented a cloud busting machine to ensure it didn’t rain. Of course it did. I remember the exact moment when it started. He was playing Band on the Run, and just as he sang the line “well the rain exploded with a...

This is absolutely fabulous. The illustration is so bad that it’s unbelievable it was produced by rabid fans. Perhaps it’s meant to illustrate an Aerosmith tribute band?:) Obviously it’s all gloriously unofficial and...

As it’s patron, Roger Daltrey is extremely passionate and inspirational in his support of the UK’s Teenage Cancer Trust. These tote bags were given away as part of one of the Who’s Albert Hall shows in support of the worthy...

It’s December 2007 and Rolling Stone prints the headline they’ve been waiting for since 1980. By the time the issue came out, the show had already...

I didn’t. I couldn’t have. Did I? Really? No way. Not me. O God. ……….Ok, I suppose I must have. Good lord. Why oh why? Time to end it all. Good bye cruel...

The first seven Quo albums are just great, especially Hello and Blue for You. They were a band I got into at a very early age. I met Rossi and Parfitt about 10 years ago over a drink at the House of Blues in Hollywood and they’re like a comedy double act....

One of many of my collection of Who publicity shots. I love the jacket –...

A compliment slip from Apple and Capitol, signed by two lovely people who used to make the music industry joyful – Joy Feuer and Joe...

Plucked from the dance floor of the Newcastle Mayfair. Ted played there on the Scream Dream tour. I’ve always been partial to his first few solo albums, but can’t stand anything else about the guy. A horrible man on so many...

Promotional poster for the excellent and extremely underrated Next Position Please...

A fantastic and lively evening on all fronts. Fights, twang and much more. After I saw this show, I flew back to the UK and immediately formed my country rock band, Not Quite...
