Karen Sweatman was Blackman… Loved Shine 😊🎼

Moya Wilson…. How funny talked about them on NYE and heard them on the radio yesterday

Martin Richter… Retro always made me laugh 🙂 he`d pull out the most awful chord which rattled fillings and bounced pint glasses from their shelves and look round as though it was his Amp`s fault – happy days 🙂

Glenn Hoile… Blimey! Good times. Still remember Martins poster for the band! Wonder if anyone else does? It was a pic of Gordon banks!

Sarah Harvey… This will bring back memories….. as Hat Trick, along with Roger Carey and Dennis Wootton, we used John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett’s studios near Aylesbury to record some songs back in 1980. Even remember having a play on Barrattt’s home-made guitar he used on TOTP. 

Peter Thomson… Shame it’s such a limited capacity. I saw John Otway in Cambridge a few years back, touring with The Hamsters. Probably the funniest, musically-driven comedy act ever. Highly recommended to all!
