He lived out here for a while (might still do). Used to live in Castle Hill when he was in Party Boys, and then Bomber (great band).
I remember being choked in traffic in Old Northern Road at Castle Hill shops. A guy in a Triumph Stag was trying to exit the service station on the corner of Cecil Ave, so as the lights were read ahead I stopped and let him join the traffic in front of me. The Stag pulled in front of me, and a very appreciative driver - Alan Lancaster - gave me a wave and said "Thanks mate"! Ive been a bastion of courtesy ever since!
Just started reading Pete Townshends biography today! Did you see Daltry last year?
Speaking about dead drummers, the other greatest quartet suffered the same fate, but at least his kid can play. Sadly, if it wasnt for an arrogant ponce of a singer who didnt want to play half the songs, an a guitarist who
hasnt got the balls the say "F*ck him, we'll find someone else", I would have seen the mighty Zeppelin by now.
I saw the other other greatest quartet in Newcastle a few years back - Ronnie was phenomenal in the last tour before he died, and we'll never hear the Dio era Sabbath riffs crank out of Tony Iommi's SG again. Now they are back to Ozzy and his browneyes. Id still love to see them, but without the lure of Bill Ward the mortgage still comes first.
But Quo? Yeah - It would be a blast.
Deep Purple are touring as well. I love Steve Morses playing, yet I have been burned by some of the old heroes before, and while Sabbath with Dio was a pleasant surprise, I'm a bit picky on who I see, especially when you factor in travel, accommodation, time off work etc.
Get your denim packed then mate! I'm sure we can cope with one less Manly supporter in the country for a while
