Well almost 10 years to the day that I met Roger at an SAS gig in Chiddingfold so there was no way I was going to miss this one!

Got a train direct from Bristol to Woking where Terry came to pick me up and drove us to the gig. Freezing as usual so didn’t queue for long but had a great spot on the right hand side a couple of rows back. Very tired from the holiday so it was nice to lean against the wall! Saw Sam, Shelia, Andy, Vern, Terry, another Andy, Jen, Frank, Sue, Dave and Alison - hi guys!

The show was a great one and the show featured:

KIKI DEE
TOYAH WILLCOX
MADELINE BELL – (Blue Mink)
CHRIS THOMPSON – (Manfred Mann’s Earth Band)
JEFF SCOTT SOTO – (Journey)
TONY VINCENT – (Lead of “We Will Rock You”)
ROCKIN’ BOBBY HALL – (Maida Vale’s Skiffle King!)
FELIX AND ARTY (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Loads of problems during Kiki Dee’s set and we were starting to wonder if they would have it sorted in time for Roger and Felix but luckily they did. First we had Felix (with Roger on guitar) singing ‘Woman you’re beautiful, followed by Roger doing Strange Frontier, Chris Thompson did You’re the Voice and the show ended with Roger taking lead on Merry Xmas (War is Over) and read the words from a piece of paper!

I drove Terry and I all the way back to Derbyshire after the gig and collapsed in bed at 3am, but it was SO worth it!!
