Hi there

I was lucky enough to be born in the early fifties so I was lucky enough to see many of the emerging bands in the 60's - Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett, The Nice, and oddly enough the Who, at there "Live at Leeds" performance (Girlfriend insisted, but enjoyed it a lot)

From '72 to '76 (I think, I was a little 'confused' at times back then) I worked at the Leeds venue booking the bands, getting them on stage

Claims to fame -

A night in the cells with a big artist
Getting off with a megastar's girlfriend after he through a hissy fit and stormed out of the venue leaving her stranded.
