Ever present during my career have been Terry and Tony. From the first concert I ever did for them in 1969 when they were still at school, through the 'Walthamstow & Epping Years', to the present day. They are currently putting together a charity albumwhich will feature my version of 'Memphis Tennessee' recorded at that first school concert. Over dinner with the boys in London recently I may have germinated the seed of an idea for them to return to concert promotion..If they do I'll be more than happy to play again! There are many joint memories over such a long period. Their friendship with my former manager Julia Creasy and members of my first band such as the late Isaac Guillory meant that, try as I might, regular meetings couldn't be avoided! Despite my having lived in California since the '70s we have remained in contact. I wish them every success with this website, the album and ..the concerts?      Al.
