“god bless you woody , you were always such a good collector . I love you x”

“I actually saw this photograph being taken . I was to the left of the band lower down working on the canal [2 day 3 day weeks , remember them ? ] and my foreman actually said to me " just think we could be looking at the next beatles , we could be witnessing history being made " and you know I still think he was making a valid point because it always could be”

“i loved swinny , had a lttle gap in his front teeth and laughed at acute observations straight away . IN the year 1986 actually [ seeing as thats were the featured photos are from ] we walked all the way to a party in waterhead just so that he could try and start a fight with a love rival and I backed him up even though he was completely in the wrong . Everybody else was just trying to enjoy clints music . Ended up a hilarious night even though it was abit rough .”

“oh woody , just noticed youve listed the year as 1980 it was 79 . I know you know really”

“[ for the benefit of the public Woodsman is one of the best minds i have ever encountered and anything but a tosser ]”

“i didnt know you went to this you wanker , i thought just natalie went . adams a good original geezer though and you cant blame him for the film type music at a time when the worlds his oyster , its just that he cant have history either , its crap .nice attempt though woodsman you couldve pulled it off ...fast forward to next era etc xxx”

“extreemly hot gig . sardines in a tin . mastery of a gig by harper , forgotten slightly by time owing to a slight lack of fashion IN time . punk had just gone but it ironically was still there in ridiculously mammoth proportions . fiirst number was emotional blackmail and it nearly killed people .”

“just to give a flavour of the times , crass who always denied their pistols influence [ ridiculous seeing as it was the very genesis of their existance ] interrupted their crass tv display that night to show on screen a photo of rotten in a sheepskin coat being broadcasted live by news at ten as he was being commited to mountjoy prison for fighting . says it all really . i doubt he ever thought of showing a photo of them to anyone”

“i was at this gig with you woodsman and mr owen certainly was dead already [r i p , great voice ] havent got a clue about dates just remember the guitarist being really jolly , a really good egg and feeling sorry for him cause theyd lost their singer”

“yes we were all guilty of booing off judge dredd so that the clash would come on sooner [with hindsight i would definately give the man his full quota of encores ]”
