If this thread is still going - ive enjoyed all your chat about the past scene in Reading. Ive seen Bill in the past two years - we played a gig together in Bracknell at the cellar bar. First time i had seen him in too many years to remember. None of seem to mention The Shades - which was run by Syd Lackington - in Cork Street - Derek Hall played regularly there with me. I lost touch with Derek after we made that disc in 1965 (ish?) and never saw him again - however we were recently re-united by mail after more than almost fifty years. He lives up in Northumberland. He gave up playing in public and only taught guitar all these years. So he still plays and i have a tape he made recently. He sounds the same. Sorry about my intimidating image in my youth. Im a nice bloke really - deep inside :-))
