Ayup PT... ^^^^ Edit.

I've only just seen your painting of the Foyer. Its excellent. And sooo accurate. At Stafford Bingley Hall (The Cowshed) the crowd was a bit more Hells-Angelly. I was wearing, as usual, my 'Full Regalia' as I used to call it, of T-shirt, full leathers, jean-jacket cutoff covered in badges and the like, with Bullet Belt and Bike boots. Now, THAT would be a figure to make, LOL. If only a picture existed... I actually ended up catching pneumonia properly, as I was soaked with sweat and it was December I think, with a large minus temperature...

But what a concert. You never, as with other 'Firsts', forget your first one. Long Live Rock N Roll indeed...

Reliving my youth in plastic, as well as paint. That's me in the 'Difficult to cure' tour baseball shirt lighting up a (ahem!) Players No6 (based loosely on a photo of Paul Rodgers with an obvious doobie, holding a pack of No6 to camera like some early product placement) If I'm bringing it all back for others, then that's the best compliment of all!

I wish there was a 'Like' button for each post !

It reminds me as well of the cover for Marillions 'Clutching at Straws' Album, LOL.

It just so happens that I've found a pack of Italeri Panzer crew in the loft that wouldn't take much to convert to someone in biker gear, tell me how long/what colour your hair was and you never know...... ;-)
