The Old Grey Whistle Test. How can you be on that show
three times and not get rich? It took courage and a lot of luck.
In B&W
Gritty performance at The Marquee in 1977. Had inspiring
conversation with Pete Townsend. 'Sing up, Jonny, this is a good tune',
he cried, before lurching absent-mindedly into a potted plant.

A
UK band of the 1970's
They were and probably still are deeply strange. They fit into no category,
didn't play by the rules, and I have concluded that they came from another
dimension.
Wherever they went, I was there. In the orange Transit up the M1, in
the coach in snowbound Berlin, and waving at the NYPD from a corporate
limo. With Tim Rose, Joan Armatrading, Supertramp. With Cecil Taylor at
Scott's, and Roland Kirk in Boston.
I looked on when Mike Willis chucked a sofa five floors down a stairwell
of the Griffin Hotel Leeds missing the chef by a whisker. Laugh? Oh the
shame. Yes we did.
I always wondered what they were about, and I'm still not exactly sure.
All I know is - I owe them a lot.
So it's time to pay a little back.
