Me and Alan Rogan
Roger and Heather
Roger
Paul YoungWell it's been a long time since I've posted on my Blog. Mainly because I have been busy and also because I have not had any news. But now I have.
Went to the premiere of Amazing Journey a film of the history of The Who. Arrived at six and stood outside watching a few celebs go in. Twiggy, The Zutons, Roger Daltrey and other celebs that the photographers were going mad for but I didn't know who they were.
Roger was with his wife Heather and I got a couple of good shots of him. Also got a photo of me with Alan Rogan, Petes guitar tech. I went up to him and said ' Hi Alan, can I have a photo?' to which he replied 'What Of?' Anyway I'm quite pleased with the result.
When we went to go in we went to the side entrance but were told we had to go through the front. This meant walking on the red carpet. As I strolled down past the paparrazi I heard someone shouting out ' Mark, Mark" I've made it I thought, they've recognised me. I turned round and there was Delbut. He was waiting for Pete to go in. I also saw Gary and Melissa inside as well as some actors and actresses. When we sat down I looked round and there was Rabbit right behind me. A couple of girls sat next to him and asked if they could shake his hand, so I said whilst you're at it and shook his hand. This just leaves Roger for me to meet to have collected the whole band.
The film was great and after, Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame came on with Pete, Roger and two of the guys that made the film, for a question and answer session. Pete was on top form and had everyone laughing.
On the way out we were just twenty foot behind Pete who had a leather jacket on with a diamonte skull on the back, jeans with hole in and a man bag. He looked trendy for a guy of 62. He did say in the question and answer session that he had no plans in the pipeline and would see how things go. Roger said they were decompressing after the tour.
Mark Squires, Petes minder was with him and I walked up and said 'I don't suppose you remember me' and he genuinely did. Not bad considering it was a year ago that I had chatted with him. Saw Paul Young walking out after and I 'borrowed' a large cardboard publicity poster, which I took home. I will give it back one day, promise!!
So that's it.

Mark, this statement struck me so funny, I'm still laffin. I tried to email you with the group a few times but it got bounced back to me. What I was wanting to say is... I loved Plasticine on CTA. You and Gary did a fabulous job.

He He.. you jammy sod. Sounds like a great Premiere. My DVD box arrived the other day. There is a spare movie in there called 6 Quick Ones that I have to watch. Saw the movie on the TV a week ago, and it was awesome.
Yes mate, we are getting really excited about coming over. Stephani has a stack of books on England and Ireland. I keep telling her we may as well move over there, and if a Democrat does not win the election, we may just do that or move to Canada.
Re; guitar, keep at it is all I can tell you. There is a point where it suddenly clicks and gets easier and easier. Keep it up. We will definitely be doing some jamming.
Thanks for such a great post, and for kind words about YouTube vid.
