“I remember seeing Spider Mike around this time in an early foray into the music scene by one Anthony H. Wilson. TW got Granada to arrange a 'Magical Mystery Tour' type event. We turned up at Granada studios, boarded a couple of charabancs and were whisked off to a 'secret' location, which turned out to be a somewhat windswept field at Jodrell Bank! Spider Mike and the Edgar Broughton Band were the acts as I recall, though someone may be able to add more detail.
We were given "goody bags" on the coach and I vividly recall Jon the Postman trying to 'smoke' the stick of rock we had been given and ending up dripping molten sugar all over himself!”
