TO GEOFF THE DUCK,I have often been confused with Tim Laycock,Tim is the good looking one.
It is very frustrating when hardwork is put into a project[The second N.E.M.C.Q. lp,Cheating the Tide, Playingfor time etc]and you are led to trust people, Richard Digance [dambuster music] in the caseof N.E.M.C.Q..and then the material never sees the light of day.
the second lp was very good,but punters are never going to hear it because its gone to Harrogate[the musical equivalent of the Bermuda triangle].
