Same here, and I'm a huge fan. Saw him in concert many times, and met him once when he walked into my local pub, many moons ago. Just down to earth sort, and had time to chat to everyone. Got up and done few tunes with the band that was playing that night too. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
