I used to be a land lady when I was in the midlands, and we had a customer who we used to book regular, he was unreal as Neil Diamond, if you closed your eyes you could think it was him...always a good crowd when he was on. Bev

Hi Andy just got back, yep good stuff, like Stair way to heaven, my brotherin-law was the drummer in a band called Galliath...if any of the south westerners have head of them then feel free to join in, they were brill never had a record released but used to play in Bridgwater but from Exeter, they split up about 8 years ago..sad..:( Also my nephew-in-law was the lead singer of a thrash metal band the name escapes me for a while they were reign they won Battle of the bands in Bridgwater a few years ago...if any one out there has heard of them then they have heard of "The Hampster song" brill Bev

And then there was the Edgar Broughton band - Out demons Out!, the free concert on the beach at Bournmouth after the gig at the pavilion, 1968? (lot of illegal substances since then, brainfade!) Only ended when the Bill disconnected the electricity!
