How about the song "Bring your love back Home" ? The group (whose name escapes me) did cut it in around '65/'66. Also a marvelous harmonica player, a single performer. He played a half dozen harmonicas at once -- he was excellent!! He looked a bit like a street bum but could he ever make his harmonica sing! Any hits??? Thanks so much for refreshing my memory. I do so miss by ol' London friends ...

Emile was a great performer! I listend to him in the Hamburg "Star Club" known by The Beatles in the early 60'.

Had an electrican in the other week to do a bit of work. Got talking to him and he turned out to be Pete Staples, the ex-bass player in The Troggs!

Makes me want to dig up my original pressing mono version of the first LP - the guitars positively growl and the drums are loud as hell, the CD remix did it no justice.

Notice a lot of interest in Mike Sarne of "Come Outside" fame. Good news is that Mike is making a rare appearance as a special guest on Jet Harris' "Me And My Shadows" show at the Wyllyotts Theatre, Potters Bar on November 3. As Billie Davis is also on the bill they will be doing their hit "Will I What". Plus Mike is doing his motorbiking hit "Just For Kicks" complete with bike on stage!

Just ordered a book by Vince Eager called 'Vince Eager's Rock n' Roll Files'. Should be good. I heard him plugging it on the radio over the weekend. I'll try and find out more and let you all know.

I saw the postman for the first time in 6 days when he called to deliver Vince Eager's book. It's excellent. Not your usual biog It's full of hilarious stories and also some sad ones such as Eddie Cochran's death, but it's well worth the read. Great photos and cartoons make it one of my favourite show biz books ever, and I've read many.

The lead guitar on Shakin' all Over was slightly out of tune! One of the best bands I never saw was Nero & the Gladiators, with fine singles like Hall of the Mountain King and Czardas - or Charred Arse as Lord Sutch's Savages referred to it!

The guy who sometimes played in the Witches was probably Mox Gowland.We used to jam for hours round his place.We did a few things up at the Moon And Sixpence.
Mox lives about 40 klms from where I am.
We all get together occasionaly for an afternoon of food and music.

Nothing changes!

I've now read Vince's book twice and haven't laughed so much for a long time. If you like rock n roll and a good old laugh then it's the book for you. I met him at a book signing last week and he signed my book and his cartoonist friend derw my cartoon in it. Brilliant. A great Christma gift.
