Only just found this site - first item i read is all about that day at Reading top rank. Had almost forgotten about that incident- cockney mick-what a character-i well remember going from Shades one Friday night to Bisley in 70s. Mick seemed to be everywhere you went then & hes still about a fair bit now.
Some great nights mentioned before - The Center in Southampton, Plough Lane at Wimbledon etc. There were always good nights in Newbury area aswell - The Henwick on Sundays after Wigan, plus Jackos dos at Chieveley - Happy Days!!
