Being master of my own muttering piles I cannot but concur there's nothing beats an Oliver. I've never been able to somehow keep abreast of the times and was sorry to learn of Took's demise (not so Fynn's). Interresting to learn other local band history too from Pocketful to whomsoever I can only guess who made up the Fynn debacle. There was a time when a geezer wth a huge pink cadillac managed Hot Property - a Rotherham blues-rock sort of thing with Brian and Terry Roach on bass/guitar and Brian Watson on drums. They had to leave a gig in Blackpool cos they'd been double-booked...with Saxon. Hah, my mobility between Rotherham and Mexborough (I'm not sure how that manifested) saw me with interest in both music scenes. Ah, I think it might have been the lack of one in Rawmarsh that did it. Odd how T Rex and Saxon have some shared history. The media miss out on a lot of interesting stuff and it's good to know 'local historians' are speaking up. And when you look at who was playing what, it's peculiar who made 'it' and who didn't charm the labels...oo, tales of the nearly has beens.....

“Tales of the Nearly Has Beens.” That’s a great title for something Alex. I’ll race you for it!
Noted that you are doing another book will look forward to this
