In the '60s and '70s when I went to Spinners concerts (now you know I'm not a real folkie!), Mick and Hughie had some initials on their guitars which I think were RMFTT (looked at an LP sleeve last night but they're not clear). Does anyone know what the significance was? A slogan, abbreviation for an organisation, or what? I know Hughie has been on the Mudcat and has some other contacts here so I have high hopes.
I'm off to Greece again (Tilos this time, so probably no singing) for the next 2 weeks so I'll expect this thread to have reached 100 by the time I return!

There is a nother link thrown up by Google but I couldn't use it... found this no-frames version which seems to work...

Cheers

I've looked at their fan pages but not seen anything there.

Stands for some nval or army term I believe it's to do with when you get out. Something like 'Roll on My Fucking Time'

6 posts, that's 5 more than when I asked the same question in 1999 but still no further forward. The webmaster of the Spinners site doesn't know either and I don't want to join another forum just to find one bit of info. Well, Mudcatters you disappoint me!

Could it be RTFM = Read the fu**ing manual?

I asked Mick [it was on his guitar] backstage at a concert in Leicester [so it must have been 69 to 72 when I was at Leicester Poly]. It is ROMFT and whippet is correct - I believe Mick was in the Navy at some time my brother the submariner also confirmed the meaning when he was old enough to join up.
