Had to have a day off Tuesday as went to a funeral… goodnight mum … xxx.
The Rock link was there though … the Hotel in which we had the drinks afterwards was the once well known Blisworth Hotel ( now renamed) near where i lived as a kid the venue where i actually went to my first proper gig at the age of 15 … Sept 1970 It was Van der Graaf Generator ( early prog rock big in their genre at the time for those who never heard of them)
More to the point the DJ at the gig was The “John Peel Medicen Light Show” . I remember the night fairly clearly . Peel dressed in a Donkey Jacket playing Jethro Tull etc all night and those oil wheel lights . Nostalgia or what ….
also Mum liked Tom Jones so we listened to “Green Green grass of Home at the end of the service !
