They were notorious in their day. Would turn up to gigs on the pretence of 'We're here to clear up after the punters have gone' and the next thing you know they'd be away with your best instrument in one paw and half your back line on a trolley legging it back to the common. Thieving hairy bastads.

I always thought 'dep' was short for 'deposit the best kit in my shopping trolley'... :blink:

Les Hurdle and Clem Cattini :o :o :o

Les was at school with me and my claim to fame is that I once played washboard with him on guitar. He was on the early Donna Summer stuff, Bright Eyes, the funky bass line under the Grange Hill sigtune, Six Wives of Henry 8, and lots more. I also remember seeing him live on TV with Neil Sedaka once. Quite a guy.

Their alibi read that they believed in good faith that the gear was left behind and that they were making good use of it on that basis.

He's a big boy now - he's quite able to take care of himself. ;)

I almost cooked Smash tonight... ok, so it was inedible... but at least it's starting to look the right colour... :blush:
