Its worth pointing out that Roger has a wonderful woman behind him too, Jenny x

A man with great great knowledge and off the cuff too, much respect. Now heres a funny personal one, I had just moved back into my old village (Willington) having lived in Burton on Trent for a couple of years. Roger came to stop over for one night so round the pub/ hotel we go, having been away from Willington a generation of local lads had come of age and were of drinking age and a group of them were playing pool. Me and Roger put our 20p down and awaited our turn (winner stays on) so we are up against a couple of younger lads and not doing very well, "just a minute" said Roger and off he went, when he returned he had a condom in his hand and promptly shoved it down one of the pockets. Well stood there being stared at by the two guys looking for an explanation from me, i'am as bemused as they are until Roger lets out "its ok, its a safety shot" the entire pub pool players all cracked up with laughter. As time moved forward a lot of the guys used to ask whens your fuckin mad mate coming down again Gilly

We played it on the Dean Anderson Tulip Radio Show about a year ago Mick, there are two versions of the song by J Mc

Yes indeed Kev, it was in New Street, ran by the great Alan Day and his friend from Birmingham, used to go in at a very young age on a Saturday morning, could never understand Alans behaviour, that is until a year or so later. Thought you would of been way to young to remember that Kev

Ive had a copy of Lucille (in full) for a number of years, cant remember where it came from thou,

As far as I know, Dave Weldings is your man on that one Simon

Mr Croasdell our leader kindly did me a cut quite a few years ago, at the time it was the only Lou Johnson record I hadn't got including UK Canadian and every colour original for Unsatisfied ie white, blue, yellow from the US LP and UK picture sleeve Magic Potion and the Big Hill label stuff too sad twat

For those who like instrumentals it makes for a good one, vocal better of course

Hi Lorraine, we/I will never forget you and your music, so much love and respect Gilly

I think this is a rather good question, ( I also don't want to see our music being watered down and end up in the charts) but I always thought "You've been gone to long" Ann Sexton could of made it and if revamped would still have a chance Let me quickly add by her that is

A bloke I know was going to sell me one, then he backed out

How sad, this guy has to be given the highest respect, he was way ahead in his game, it was he who put Guy Hennigan onto James Lately who in turn told me about it and because of that I got lucky. Have to say I only ever met him once. I remember Micky Cruise was always talking about him as was Tony Colby he must of influenced a lot of people in his reserved life style. Bless you John, it was the likes of he who made what we are today.

Yes indeed, Nev was a super human being, I remember at the Painted Lady alldayer one time my mate Kev Orton from Burton Upon Trent was flat out on the dance floor mainly due to the fact that The Mighty Bub was sat on him and Nev was mucking about trying to get Kevs trousers down, all good fun I guess

A record I used to own that never gets a mention is one by The Pyramids, on an un-No Sonbert label, called The Playboy ish. one of POPCORNS compositions

James Conwells voice is just brill

I love Mexican Love song too
