Re: Stu

I had some cd copies somewhere but I think i threw them away as i couldn't bring myself to listen to them. The bass player (Paddy) will have some as he keeps everything and he's in the wedding band i am deputy drummer for. I think the original live recording of all our songs that we did at Soundwork...

Re: Stu

Brilliant memories, Stu, and I bet whispering Bob agreed with you. :lol: Bob was a lovely bloke, if he didn't show you his teeth :grin: He had heard our music, liked it and wanted to play it on his show eventually.

Six months driving to the recording studio which was directly opposite Yorkshire TV building in Leeds. I remember the smurfs albums were recorded there cos they ...

Re: Stu

I thank you both for your advice. I haven't seen much of the world, I haven't been out of Europe. Holidays never really interested me that much, it's only when kids came along that I made more of an effort. When I do go away I want to be as remote as possible with as little human interaction as poss...

Re: Stu

One thing that worries me about retirement is being bored. Right now I'm as bored as a bored person could be.
