AND FELL INTO THE DRESSING ROOM OF BILL HALEY'S COMETS, WHO I SPENT AN HOUR WITH! THEY WERE MOST UNDERSTANDING OF THE STATE I WAS IN, AND, AS THEY WERE DUE ON STAGE, WERE DRESSED IN THERE FAMOUS TARTAN SUITS, AND PERFORMED ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK FOR ME!! GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS, AND STILL SHOWING THE YOUNGER GUYS HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------- I PLAYED AT THE WEDDING OF COMEDIAN BRIAN CONNOLLY WHICH WAS FILLED WITH HOUSEHOLD NAMES, HALE AND PACE, BOBBY DAVRO, LINDA LUSARDI EVEN SHAKIN' STEVENS WAS THERE, BUT THE HIGHLIGHT WAS WHEN I BUMPED INTO CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG IN THE CARPARK!

IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ANY OLD BREATHLESS OR KATSQUIRE PICS PLEASE GET IN TOUCH. BREATHLESS ARE NOW BACK ON THE ROAD AND IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE SOME OLD SHOTS AND SPEAK WITH OLD FRIENDS. -----------------------------------------------------------I 'M SURE THERE'S SOME PEOPLE LEFT TO MEET, BUT WITH SO MANY PLASTIC, SO CALLED CELEBS, I'M A BIT PUSHED TO THINK OF ANYONE....GOD'S PROBABLY QUITE A DUDE THOUGH...BET HE CANT PLAY ROCK N ROLL, HE'S PROBABLY INTO GOLF OR SUMMAT!!!
