Hi all

Miles is a very close friend of mine. We go all the way back to The Stanford Arms Club in Brighton in 1968 when Miles was a resident singer with Allan (spud) Taylor. I was a mere floor singer. Miles and I became very close friends soon after and have remained so for 30 odd years. I had a cup of tea with him on Sunday, and strangely enough were talking about how many copies of the Great Fishfinger Disaster album he has left, so if anyone is interested there are copies still available

He has had some deep problems in the last couple of years which resulted in severe alcoholism which he has managed to come through. He isn't writing at the moment.

I run a very successful club in Southwick (near Brighton) called The Harbour Sessions and asked Miles to do a couple of songs last week, but he cried off at the last moment with stage fright.

So there it is. Miles is alive and well and I'll pass on all your best wishes and any other specific questions or comments.

Anyone can reach me privately at john@thecollyers.fsnet.co.uk or you can check out our club at www.uksoundcraft.com and follow the thread to the Harbour Sessions.
