Baz Atkinson

Ah thats lovely Lorraine your humility definetly shines -the pleasure is all mine believe me,trying to sort out some pics from that night think it was 1983 or perhaps 82,ill get them posted if I can find them !! Hey BAZ A, It's hard for me to remember last week! But I do remember the gig. I remember it because it was small club but the people were in to us. Sorry I don't remember you personally, but I'm glad we are getting re-aquainted. Folks will have to give a shout out to Dave Thorley, he was one of the promoters at that time and responsible for the Stafford gig. Lorraine

Hey Lorraine-its great your on here, met you and Eddie Parker at a small club in CO DURHAM Darlington to be precise,the night before you played Stafford,you gave a fantastic performance as did Eddie "can you remember the visit?" BAZ A

Hey Simon heard good things about that place mate-thats a nice invitation worth keeping in mind,if your up north give me a shout some great spots locally worth checking out not far from where i live !! BAZ A

I dont get out much anymore[business committments] lucky if I do 3-4 nighters a year-but without a doubt Butch has been the man for rare soul in the uk and he was digging staterside before most of us got out of bed[excluding the usual suspects Anderson etc].If Butch does go then hes welcome to go fishing with me in the never never climes of the north east lol,it would be an honour to cast out with him then both sit like miserable bastards for 3 hours and say nowt lol. I still regard the just Brothers and Jesse James as quite possibly his 2 finest momments but jeeezzzzz hes had many I am just pleased ive caught him at his finest on many occasions particulary late eighties/early nineties. Mick H ANOTHER MARVERICK with incredible taste and a downright decent lad, very very sorely missed if he does go definetly -ofcourse the scene always survives and theres plenty to step up particulary on the northern scene -question is alot cant be arsed these days-theres just so much negativity and bollox and not enough good things -there again what do i know I JUST FISH NOW AND COLLECT DEEP AND SWEET INEXPENSIVE SOUL RECORDS LOL!!!
