 A stunning venue, a “full house” and the SBJs (formed in 1959) – (even) better than ever! |
 Alan Lovell with his “new” early Watkins Rapier, stunning, immaculate and in original condition! |
 Founder member Ray Ennis and his 80s 335 – his first one was stolen in 1966! |
 “Bruvver” Peter (A Picture of You) Oakman and Danelectro bass |
 For me? Well no, but even a guitar collector can dream! |
 Ray Ennis and the SBJs? Some of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet … even Mrs P. demanded their autographs! |
