@Tim_Burgess Fretblanket - Filled in at Kidderminster Market Tavern when we had tickets to Radiohead (£2.50) who got on Top of the Pops with Creep. Radiohead honoured the gig the next week.
The worst kind of news has just hit all of us at Nurburgring where Juha Miettinen lost his life today in a multiple car collision.
I've known Juha for 20 years, each one of them filled to the brim with him enjoying driving the Nurburgring, one of those guys that never seemed to be able to get enough of the place and was always there with a smile.
RIP my friend.
