Thanks so much Sal. Appreciate you taking the time to read it and glad you enjoyed it. Mrs LK was the same back in the day. At one point, 83 I think, her father paid a tout to get her into the MCR Apollo to see them. He wouldn't tell her mother how much he paid for fear of what she'd do to him :)x

Thank you. Glad to hear you enjoyed the piece and it inspired you to dig the album out once more. That's a great bass clip. It does highlight what a terrific bass line it actually is. John Taylor's bass playing is easily overlooked x

That can't be right surely! Get copies of the invoices and send it to your MP demanding a response. They're supposed to be clamping down on this bollox!

Photography student of mine had said "hey, you wanna come shoot some pics at a party I'm throwing? Got a band coming to play, too". Sure. Music was pretty much all I'd shot in the early years of my career. Turned out the venue was the 5000 capacity Ageha here in Tokyo. The band?

Yep. What a night.

I think its important you tell yourself that for the rest of time 😉💙x

Like I say. Its not something everyone gets to experience and does require a leap of faith. Have a read of @johnharris1969.bsky.social's latest book for more enlightenment :)x
