Budgie were one of the first bands that I felt were 'mine' and once I was going to gigs I saw them as often as I could. The early albums get all the praise, but all of the albums with Tony Bourge on guitar have their moments and there are one or two gems on their later output.
For an awkward teenager with jam-jar bottom glasses, Burke Shelley was nothing short of an inspiration.
Budgie. Loved 'em!
Cheers Burke.
