[cite]Posted By: badger[/cite]Sir Henry, the young fanzine writer was Tony Fletcher who had a fanzine called Jammin' Which i used to sell for him really nice bloke, he also got an exclusive with Sir Paul McCartney which at the time was a real surprise, macca was also recording at the same studio and he got paul to go and sort it out for him and hey presto. he also played guitar in a band called Apocalypse, And Also ran a label, i have also met mr weller and the boys.I Have seen the jam many times and would say they were so powerful as a 3 piece, even when i saw some of the 1st gigs they did. Top band and great records.
I met Tony a few times but the young fanzine writer I was talking about was me. Safe as Milk - south London's finest fanzine. I saw the Jam loads of times after I first say them late 76 at the Marquee supporting Little Bob Story before In the City came out. Always a very tight live band, looked great as well. Used to be able to see them all over at the nashville, Marquee etc. Also saw them at the Rainbow with the Clash when the place got wrecked.
[cite]Posted By: JVL[/cite]Glenn did it with just his acoustic at the Blackheath concert halls last month. Spellbinding.
And Sir Henry, there's an 50/50 chance my band might be supporting Weller on tour in the late Spring, as he seems to be quite supportive of our frontman, Chris Holland, who used to play keyboards in his band. Which would be nice. Us, Albert Hall, last month, if you're interested.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZkhv0XahxsSomewhere else up there is a version of us grabbing Squeeze's Tempted by the throat...
Jon, your band sounds like Neil Young in 1972 (that was meant to be a compliment). Sound like you're going somewhere. WOuld be great if we could get people like yourselves and Luck Soul to play the Valley if they did another of those summer concerts. Maybe supporting squeeze or maybe Weller would fancy it.
Thank you Ben, you're most kind. Don't think Squeeze would reform, even to play the Valley, even though Tilbrook's a big Charlton fan. Difford thinks football (and playing live for that matter) is a bit of a waste of time.
Weller's drummer is a Charlton fan, as well, so who knows?
He got invited back when they reformed the first time in 85, but apparently he'd forgotten everything so he got dropped after the first warm-up rehearsal and replace by Keith Wilkinson, who'd played bass on the Difford adn Tilbrook solo album. I'll ask Chris H if he knows anything more up-to-date.

Nice one.
Though I'd choose the last song of the album, not the first.
Or something by Curve. Ah....the memories of the early nineties!
By the way, I'll always remember a Curve gig the day before we played away at Blackburn in 91-92. The game in which Leaburn scored. At the gig between two songs I started singing a Charlton song. To my surprise someone joined in. I talked to him for a bit and discovered that he too was going to Blackburn. Saw him around a few times after that but not since.
Is he reading this by any chance? Are you out there, that man?
Curve ah.... I used to meet up regulary, every week, we all worked locally with Dean Garcia from Curve and he also played for the Eurythmics And Simon Booth from Working week for social curry binges and drinks, both really nice guys.

But he's now got a pretty unforgiveable sumo-style pony tail hairdo, and similar midriff.
Went to the gig,You're right about the hairdo,and he's put on weight,Couldn't believe it.
Have heard that Chris has signed to STIFF Records and will have an album out after finishing up with the tour.
I'll have to see if I can manage my usual Charlton chat with Glenn afterwards...
Sure you'll enjoy the show and Glen Still Looks as cool as ever.

Both good musicians and also not pop stars.
