[quote name='theplumber' timestamp='1359842700' post='1961172'] I believe Martin did one tour with them,not too sure....He was out of the band after the first album,which was a shame,but I still remember playing that album over and over as a kid on my wee record player..plus my dad's reaction to Ron Mael!! What the ffffff!!!!!! It's bloody Hitler on piano!! [/quote] Nope, not even one tour. So anyone gaily flinging picks around was my replacement. Saved myself a fortune, probably.

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1359763130' post='1960188'] Queen's Hall Dunoon, West of Scotland. You played there, we supported, my band was called Hands Off,Your next gig was at Glasgow Uni and my you got my band in for free. Cheers for that. [/quote] Hah, I remember Dunoon - it was part of our Hunter-Ronson warm-up tour. According to popular legend, the Glasgow Uni had an audience of two, so don't let the truth slip out...

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1359723742' post='1959378'] You see, I refer to someone as 'obscure' and up they pop out of the ether! Hi Martin! [/quote] The walls have ears...

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1359726754' post='1959443'] I had the pleasure of supporting Jet at the start of their first tour '74 or '75 IIRC. Good band. [/quote] Really? So the whole thing wasn't a figment of my imagination? 1975, I think - but where?

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1231366009' post='373574'] If we're going for obscure players has anyone mentioned Martin Gordon? [/quote] I have never heard of this person, who is he?

I wish I DID have a black Rick, but no - only a red one and a blonde one. Next life, perhaps. And I certainly did not throw plectrums around willy nilly, given the wages at the time...
