Agreed. What was once a lively, thriving community has now gone very sleepy…

Agreed - a really well written and interesting read. That whole Liverpool Zoo Records scene was fascinating. See also Will Sargeant’s recent books.

Many happy returns Bill! 🎂

Like Southern Dreamer, I'm still getting the same 'unavailable' messages for all Bill's FB posts too.

I'm about 70 miles from Bill! 🙂

🙉

Giving this post a bump as I also would like to see Bill's Facebook posts but all I get is the 'content unavailable' message. 😕

'Giving It All Away' from Chimes and Rings

‘Old Goat’ - After The Satellite Sings

‘Gazing Through Golden Windows’ from My Private Cosmos.

Time is a Mechanism - Stupid/Serious

‘Girlfriend With Miracles’ from Atom Shop.

Seconded. They were a magnificent band and sadly overlooked even when they were active.

Now that looks fabulous! 😎 Ordered!

Mine‘s just arrived! Whoop!

I suspect I speak for the increasingly exasperated majority of us who are here largely to appreciate and discuss Bill’s current and future work. Maybe the time has come to ban the egocentric, attention seeking troll(s) who seem determined to make the forum all about THEM, and their tedious and increasingly passive-aggressive criticism of Bill and his work? I‘m sure there are enough other forums out there dedicated to ROCK guitarists?

‘What we need…’ FFS.
