Haven’t seen Parker in 45 years. Now the Rumour were a band... That looked a great gig Mick. I’ve been a massive Graham Parker & Nick Lowe fan since the 70’s, seen GP & The Rumour many times. Caught them a few years ago in Leeds when they briefly got back together, I think with the original line up including Andrew Bodnar on bass. Always enjoyed Martin Belmont and Brinsley Schwarz on guitar duties too. If I’d known I would have tried to get to Putney for this one - to my shame I wasn’t aware that Bob Andrews had passed away in June, very sad. Many thanks for the set lists and pics Mick. 1 Quote

Pete It would have been great to have had you there! And Andy Bodnar, who apparently has health issues. Steve Goulding held it all together as great drummers do! The official backstage pic below. I am still buzzing… 1 Quote

A thoroughly nice gent and a mine of information on the workings of amplifiers. Also saw him with GP at the Marquee and Mean Fiddler, back in the late ‘80s; great player. 2 Quote

Probably still a lifetime top ten gig. 1 Quote

Used to worship him. Nearly brought a flying suit. Settled for a Telecaster shaped bass. Now he’s GordonKnob: any relation? Only joking, enjoy!👍 Quote
cetera Posted yesterday at 09:36 Posted yesterday at 09:36 (edited) Off to the album launch for 'Perfect Beasts' this Friday night at The Butler in Reading with @Hamster. They're a new Prog Rock band featuring Darren Redick (Basschat member/Planet Rock DJ) on bass/vocals and John Mitchell (Asia etc) on keys/vocals.... Was supposed to be a live show as well but John has had a fall and is now unable to perform this Friday. Edited 12 hours ago by cetera Quote
