 Jay Tamkin Band an excellent support band and all the way from Devon! |
 Jay Tamkin pictured with Amanda and Iona — for some reason he didn’t want to talk guitars with me |
 Yardbirds 50th Anninersary concert but Jim McCarty (with a powerful performance) was the only original member to play the entire set although Top Topham and Chris Dreja (among others) did make appearances. But, sadly, no sign of Jimmy, Eric or Jeff… |
 However guitarist Ben King is a great addition to the band and a worthy (& very modest) successor to messrs. Page, Clapton and Beck! |

Sally Thomsett, London Wednesday 10th april 2013
 Man about the House, featuring Paula Wilcox, Richard O’Sullivan and Sally Thomsett (who famously also starred in “The Railway Children”), was surely one of TV’s best ever sitcoms. |
 Sally Thomsett, a delightful talented and very beautiful lady, pictured on her way to work in London. And a great supporter of live music although she doesn’t play guitar! |

Sweet, Truro 5th December 2012
 |
Andy Scott (formerly a winner on TV’s “Opportunity Knocks”) joined Sweet in 1970, replacing ex-Pirate Mick Stewart, and the rest, as they say, is history! |
 |
Sweet … Andy Scott and (vocals teacher) Andy O’Hara, ex-”Sailor” Pete Lincoln and powerhouse drummer Bruce Blisland. This must be the best line up since the band split in 1981 and they performed a blockbusting set in Truro. I can’t wait to see them again! |
