Awww! Thanx you guys, it's beginning to work.

You know, I think if Bigboab were to come in here now and give me a big hug it may well do it.

ROFLMFAO! Damn, prob'ly shouldn't be!


FREAKING Aussie humour!

UKMan wonders if Billy_Dean would accept a truce from him as well?
Allthough i still dont agree with the cat thread - but bygones be bygones hopefully :beerchug: vodka - fosters

[Billy_Dean]

Haha! You know UKMan, looking at your pics freaks me out a bit, cos I'm sure I've met you before, but I haven't said anything. I worked in the music biz in England for many years. From the early 70's I was a roadie\sound man\stage manager and all those jobs your muso mates force you into doing, specially when you own a van! Before I left England for good in 80 i was working for the Who out of Shepperton Studios, taking special equipment around to bands. I worked with 100's of bands over the years, and met countless people. Unfortunately the memory goes over the years, I don't know if it's the sex, drugs or rock'n'roll, but I have my suspicions!

As for a truce .... no need, I have nothing against you at all, or anyone else on this board. In fact I admire people who stick up for themselves and have a go.

So peace to you, UKMan.

Nice of you to accept.
NOW - that would be a coincidence wouldnt it? Bands i have been involved with during that period might have been - Dr.Feelgood, KC & The Sunshine Band, Hawkwind, Steve Gibbons plus loads of local bands. I moved to Sweden 1978 officially so after that date its all over here. Lived mostly in the Notting Hill area in the early 70's. Ring any bells?

Peace

I worked with the organisers of the Windsor Free Festival in 74 and 75 (?) that was, I think, the only time I worked with Hawkwind, but did work later on with Lemmy at the Roundhouse when I was there with a band I can't remember. And various members of KC and the Sunshine Band worked with Leo Sayer in the mid 70's, I did a tour of England and Ireland with them. Dr. Feelgood was one of my fave bands, I saw them heaps. I have mates now playing with Elton John, (Charlie Morgan) Status Quo, (John Edwards) Van Morrison, (Ronnie Johnson), who were in the first band I ever worked with, a bunch of mates who had a garage band called The Sunday Band.

I'm sure we've bumped into each other tho, it would be strange, eh?

The Windsor Free Festival is probably a place where we could have bumped into each other. I was with the White Panther Party at that particular time and we gave out free food to the masses. Lemmy & Hawkwind were our "local" band and well appreciated by all then.

My very first connection with music though was through Manfred Manns old manager Kenny Pitt. He and my dad were neighbours Believe it or not, thats when i first met David Bowie - but before he ever became popular of course. He and Kenny Pitt were..hrmm - buddies cough!

Small world aint it

edit: Dr Feelgood came over to Sweden quite a few times so i became their road manager for a couple of years running whenever they came over. Great band and such a great bunch of guys. I miss e'm.

Peace
