First was Melody Maker Poll Winners concert at Kennington Oval Sept 72 aged 14: Fudd, Focus, Genesis (Peter Gabriel in red dress and foxes head), Argent, Jack Bruce jamming with Akkerman & Van der Linden, ELP and Wishbone Ash. I only decided to go at the last minute when Wishbone Ash were added to the bill - Paid a quid on the gate.
Second, which I’m alot prouder of, was a couple of months later: Patto and Man at Westfield College off the Finchley Road.

You're wowing at the Man and Patto and not the ELP and Genesis aren't you?

No, the first lot. That really must have been a show that nothing else could follow.

went with my sister and two cousins to see Slade at the Hammersmith Odeon, March 1974. My 11 year old cousin was wearing silver sprayed platform boots that were two sizes too small, so he could barely walk. My sister had specially made me a Noddy Holder style hat.

I WAS SEVEN!!!!!


HONEST!!!!!
