When I was in Magna Carta some local people decided to put us on in concert in Bedford where I lived and I suggested that we have Diz as support. So really it came as no surprise for me to receive a call from him to say that he wouldn't be able to make the gig because he'd missed his flight from Spain!
Can anyone verify the story that one night after a gig Diz had nowhere to stay so decided to park the hearse in a field miles from anywhere and lay down in the back. Apparently a police car drove by, saw the hearse, one of the policemen got out to investigate, woke Diz up who sat up whereupon the policeman fainted!
I realise that this is off of the subject but John are you still in contact with Dave Ward?
