  3. Hi Rob hope is all well .. I was with Joey last week in Detroit and I did ask him about Rileys which he confirmed he worked there but when i Asked him about the Tempo's cut of " I never forget " which as the same backing as you know as Joe Matthews he knew nothing about it .. maybe be the case he as forgotten as this as been the case with some artist's and producers etc .. we are talking about 50 yrs long time to remember everything , another intresting thing Fab budford glanton who also recored with The Tempos on Riley's stated it was not the same group as the Diamond jim 45 .

I have a few idea's for next year regarding The Metro's , Lorraine yes Percy did come to the uk 2007 with The Elgin's when we reformed them to appear at the Northampton weekender he filled in for Johnny Dawson who due to health reasons could not make it . Percy really felt the love what he recived when he was here ..in fact he could not belive everyone was talking to him about The Metro's .

  16. Great news Neil maybe you should try and get the assembly room for a live gig with Joe .. its a fantastic place instead of Cox's yard as its very small place .. just a idea mate .
  17. John still got that cracking interview with Joe and the fabulous peps and you on video when joe first came over to the uk back in 2008 ..remember mate when you phoned me when you came and watched them go through the paces a few days before the live show . if i recall right you brough that unissed track which was recorded at thelma and you though it was joe but i dont think it was . I will have to do you finally a copy of the interview and hopefully next time joe is here in july you can meet up again .
