    1974 worked Sunday's at Makro Charlton and got to know Bill Broad from Bromley. He had long straight black hair, small round specs and was into prog music. Then he became Billy Idol!

    Neil Ardley (recorded Harmony of the Spheres with John Martyn)
    Johnny Mars (blues harmonica player)
    Black Francis
    Sue Perkins (worked with her when she left school and before she went to. Cambridge)
    Michael Nyman
    Vin Garbutt

    Been a fan of John Martyn for years, wonderful artist, but boy did he have his 'demons', or so I have been told by people who knew him, Personally I think he is a wonderful, unique artist who should have a much higher standing in the music world, but probably a nightmare to manage. I have heard he was so very kind, and yet with a drink inside him could be a nightmare. Did a painting of him a few months ago, His playing with Danny is sublime.

    He was damaged and out of control, more rock n roll than rock n roll, and was probably always going to die before his time. But he made some beautiful music. This is a gem from 1981: ‪https://youtu.be/Uvg_4XIZ5cA‬

    Man Utd / Chelsea players only joined up with England the other day as they were given an extra week off due to the FA Cup Final

    I know I saw images of Rashford somewhere very sunny and warm so not surprised that Liverpool's players wont join up for a further few days

    Surprised that I didn't mention it on my other post on this thread but Ellie Goulding came round my house a couple of times when I was at Uni. She was friends with my housemate who used to be involved with organising gigs on campus (this was before she was signed, and was still a student).

    Saw her on a TV show recently where she surprised a couple of die hard fans and they were in floods of tears. Weird to think she came round my house and at the time I was too busy watching Countdown to give a toss.

    Am sure I have posted this before but as it is on topic

    Was in pub in Chafford Hundred and John Terry was in there with his parents.
    We were both in the toilets having a piss (respectable distance between relevant urinals) when a kid aged about 8 or 9 walks up and says to him - 'are you John Terry?'
    He smiles and says 'Yeah I am'
    Kid replies 'Are you captain of England and Chelsea?'
    'Yeah thats right I am'

    Kid then said 'my Dad says you are f*cking shit' and then he ran out out of the toilet.

    I literally pissed myself.
