Gary Kinch… Just had a rummage in my drawers and found this programme. A brilliant concert from what I remember. The weather was very good. Tickets £3.50….. I’m sure each of the main acts could fill the stadium on their own. 72,000 on the day

Jim Breeds… Jealous!

Colin Norton…. It was a great concert! I absolutely agree with you! What amazing value for money too!

Gary Kinch…. There’s a nice two part docu on youtube about Graham Nash. He wrote Marrakesh Express when he was with the Hollies but they didn’t like it, it wasn’t commercial enough. So the Hollies harmonies became part of CSN&Y ….good move I say

Patrick Lewis… What a fabulous line up. Wish I had been there.

Ralph Town… Nice bloke and an amazing player.I,d love to see him play again but alas,I’m marooned in the Midlands 🙁

Terry Pack… I played with him for six months (?) during 1999: Burnley Blues Festival, The Borderline and lots of gigs up north. Ended my stint at The Black Horse Festival. A good player, but a clone of Stevie Ray Vaughan. It was fun working with Chris Sharley and Jo Brookes, though.

Pete Shaw… Haha! The Bruce Forsythe of facial expressions whilst playing any chord that needed 4 fingers! Played with him many times with Colin Gibson extracting amazing bass soundscapes whilst Stevie explored the outer limits of string bending…played my first internet broadcast from a London Club where, I am certain, we were perched on a shelf in front of a Stevie Zee fan club venue…Colin and I would take a leisurely dinner in upmarket restaurants prior to gig…leaving Stevie Zee to pace the dressing cupboard until we returned!! Thoroughly enjoyable times!!
