Top Man - he started me playing in 1970 or so. A good bloke too, my brother interviewed him at the Roots Hall festival.

Barna yes, that was the gig. It wasn't TYA as I recall but an Alvin Lee Band. Happy to be corrected though.

I'm sure you're right (and thanks for the pm).Tbh I wasn't really a big TYA (or Alvin Lee)fan at that time (that came later).
My main reason for being at the Roots Hall Festival was because my then girlfriend (Margrethe, a Danish lass) was a huge Fairport fan.I did enjoy seeing Mickey Jupp's Legends though.

I found out who this guy is and it turns out he wasn't the famous one in his family - that was actually his daughter:

I couldn't make that gig, Tony. I'm glad though as it was very muddy by all accounts.

The heavens did open at one point, IIRC, however since we were near my spiritual home (aka The West Stand) I don't seem to remember it being much of a problem.

I was talking about Woodstock. On an Alvin Lee note, I did see Slade perform 'Hear Me Calling' ten years after in 1979.
