Music has been my lifelong interest since I got my first record player aged 9.
There were gigs at the 2 local colleges , and 2 live music venues that we when to every week when I was at school.
Far too many to list but I started off seeing The Love Affair , The Herd , Amen Corner , Free , The Who ,Osibisa , Genesis (1971) Hawkwind , Wishbone Ash , King Crimson , AC/DC whilst at school.
Moved on to The Doors , Q-Tips (Paul Young when he went solo ) The Stranglers , Frankie Goes To Hollywood , Ultravox
Joe Jackson, Dr Feelgood , Slade
Leo Sayer umpteen times . Met him once after a gig when I was 19 as a competition winner .
I have seen Phil Collins, Genesis , Pink Floyd , Elton John ( even though I don’t like him ) , 10cc , Rod Stewart , Billy Joel , Dire Straits, The Police all numerous times . I even fell asleep during a Police concert as I had not been to bed after a night shift .
