@tim_rolls Thoroughly agree Tim, an absolute legend. He scored the second Chelsea goal I saw live. He was beaten to the punch by that rarest of hen's teeth, a goal in a Chelsea shirt for Tony Hateley. RIP Bobby.
@heavenlyblue007@barkway_ken That's lovely. Some genuine feeling in there. Glad he's come to terms with his life and you can see now how much John meant to him.
@MilliLeaks_ That's a fair comment. It also has Rod's cover of Hendrix's Angel, which is great, with Ronnie's fabulous guitar work. It almost sounds like a Faces record in places, as the boys are on more tracks than the earlier albums.
@MilliLeaks_ It's the "rockiest" one, but it has You Wear It Well, a worthy successor to Maggie, and I'd Rather Go Blind. Also my favourite Rod Dylan cover, Mama You've Been In My Mind. Ah....the sound of the summer of 72 and my first girlfriend😊
The Carpenters Arms, located at 73 Cheshire Street, was purchased in 1967 by the Kray twins (Ronnie and Reggie) as a gift for their mother, Violet Kray. It served as a major headquarters for their gang, "The Firm."
@tim_rolls@NotoldNOJE@NewWaveAndPunk@phatalstu@Schnitzel63@FatOldAnarchist I only saw Family at their reunion gig in the last 10-15 years. We used to drive over to Royal Holloway College at weekends to see whoever was on. That's where I saw Caravan and JJG. Also Shakin Stevens & The Sunsets and apparently John Martyn (I have no recollection of it 😳)
