He was funny live. If anyone asked for postcards from Scarborough, he would say “ah, a medley of my hit”. And if he hit a bum note it was “jazz” in that John Thompson voice…but my, he could play. He trucked around the country for years, gig to gig, just him in an old estate car. Brilliant every time. I still don’t understand how he wasn’t as big as his contemporaries in that scene. Guess he just did his own thing.

Back to back. The first and last studio albums from my favourite band.

After Rainmaker and Survivor perhaps you could list me the next 3 to queue up, if you get time.

My favourite is Wee Tam and the Big Huge . Play “U” a lot too. Have a soft spot for double albums.

He made over 30 albums! His third on Harvest, Wrecked Again, is a favourite - it was buried by the label, shamefully. True North is excellent, Fish is good, and there are two albums of Americana which are worth a listen too.

Thanks too Riggers. I wasn’t aware of Wrecked Again either - pretty sure several songs (including this one) were staples of his mid 70 s sets. Saw him a few times around the North & North East then.
