Thanks JE - but I'd like to know who he has in his personal trilogy so as to give us all that particular lowdown.......

Who are the Holy Trinity Of Guitar Players then?

Thanks Tourist - appreciated!

Well said Jon - Roald Dahl said in one of his books that he didn't admire brave or heroic people......he admired kind people......the better sort of people in his opinion....

I'm back from a summer of looking after my mum and my wife's mum who survived a serious brain operation and is now making steady progress.....difficult times we've been through as it goes. Life goes on. Bowie film just a few days away - really looking forward to this one!

Mojo dropped through the letterbox yesterday - a six page feature on Bill which is more than has ever been done in thirty years of the magazine's lifespan. James McNair does a sympathetic and creditable job of bringing those who are only aware of Be - Bop into the present. Oddly enough, on the letters page there is a letter from an American reader who requests an article on Bill Nelson! My only thoughts on the whole thing are that the opening 'splash page' is a picture of Be - Bop circa Futurama which could so easily be a portrait of Bill in more recent times. Also, in the albums section, there could've been far more selected from more recent times - two post Red Noise choices is just insufficient. At least Sailor Bill is in there, but Jazz Of Lights, And We Fell Into A Dream etc. etc. However, good to finally see an article which has more contemporary elements to it, and one would hope that those who possess little knowledge of what Bill has done for the larger part of his lifetime may be made curious to explore beyond the band he is commonly known for...... Interesting to know how Bill himself feels about the feature, and hope you're feeling much better Bill. Four stars for Sound On Sound.......hmmmm.😐

These are fascinating - I walk around these streets all the time, which makes them all the more interesting. Thanks for posting them Tourist!

What an amazing photo! Does remind me of Quatermass & The Pit somewhat, not wanting to take away from the seriousness of the situation.....

Unmissable - I'm dragging the whole family to see it, no question!

Spent the '70s jumping off the high diving board ( second one down - top was for pro - divers only) here before they invented 'health & safety'😁 This was a week before they started to demolish it some years ago - sad loss.

We should all have a bee in our respective and collective bonnets about what is happening to the NHS - it's a disturbing, frightening and disgraceful set of circumstances....

Great Bowie era this......eARTHLING & on tour reinventing himself once again with a hard sound. I still find it hard to come to terms with the fact that he's not there anymore......In my silly little head, I thought he'd live forever.......my mistake hey?

Same photoshoot - Jackie mag 1973

Giant Ziggy poster 1973.....took up a whole wall as I remember!

Yes - just like the 'hipsters' of today. The Bowie thread seems to have disappeared - a mystery that! Might have to start a new one hey?

Same for me.....I'm thinking - it will come to me too hopefully!

Great photo Tourist - I wish I had that much style, and was that slim!

The impossible to find Charlton comic book guide given away with subscriptions to Charlton in the 70's - they did do a reprint, but this is the original - cover by Tom Sutton.

Agreed! great image!
