Hey Diki, so you were a Mecca man, too!

We used to do summer relief gigs for most of the London area Meccas in 1970-71. Ilford Palais, Tottenham Royal, Empire Leicester Square, Cat's Whiskers Streatham, Stevenage Locarno, Hammersmith Palais. Great days!

Oh yeah, those herky-jerky revolving stages. Good job we were playing Hammonds in those days. I reckon our current boards would be toppled off an X-stand by the initial lurch of some of those stages.

Talking about being too drumk, I remember an incident at the Empire Leicester Square where TC (can't give her full name - might be libellous - you may remember her, anyway) the girl singer with Ray McVay's band had got a little too juiced and went a-over-t on one such occasion. Roars of laughter all around.


Sorry, Abacus, got away from your topic a bit - got carried away.

Oh, and Donny, I'd love to go tooling down the sidewalk on a Segway
