Went to see Toots about 4 years ago. He turned up 3 hours late. Lost all respect for him after that, he'd stayed in London to do a radio interview. Only half the audience were left...

[Mick Howard]

He regularly gigs over here & has done for years.

I also saw him a few years ago (maybe on the same tour as you Pete) up here in Scotland & he wasn't late. He was in fact the consumate professional & I enjoyed it immensly.

Disappointing as it no doubt was, there might have been underlying reasons for him having to do the radio interview (maybe it was contracted, maybe he was wrongly advised, maybe, maybe....) on that day.

People shouldn't be judged unless ALL the facts are known - people are wrongly hung for stuff like that.....
