1982. what a year! Reading Rock Festival!

About Me

Hello there!Why the pic of me from 1982 (when I was 17!)?Well' I can't find a good one of me at the present to post!! Plus, it was a bloody good year for Rock music! The Number of the Beast anyone? It was in 1982 that I went to my first 'Reading' rock Fest.... it was a blast (there are some pic in the pic area) I went with Jill, Ian and Rich (Jill & Rich, where are you now!!!?) via Way Ahead (remember them?) Also went to the MOR and the 'Stones' at Wembley, plus the regular gigs @ Rock City and de-montford(sp) hall). A busy and expensive year for a 17 yr old still at college (you gotta remember, I had to buy Beer and Records as well!) So, 1982 was a great year for me. Where were you... in '82?Back to the present 2006!I'm Married to Alison and have a little boy called Joseph Keith (after my Dad who passed away many years ago) he was 3 on Feb 14th (Valentines Day). My Dad (Keith Mellor as he was known) wrote the book 'Garibaldi Red's' which detailed the history of the (once) mighty Forest. And the follow up 'Forest Road'. He also edited books on Man. u, Man City and Bradford. There was also a book on Robin Hood.I'm still a big 'Reds' fan, but don't go to many games (but listen to every game and follow the forums) Mental note to myself** must make effort to go to see them** l'll try to remember.If I think of anything else...i'll LYN.p.s. there's a vid of Joseph jigging to Trivium in My video's..Mellor out!
