Many years ago got talking to Keith Hodge in Llanelli, he intoduced himself in polite conversation. No idea who he was but after a while the small talk got around to music of that time period , the very early 70s .

He claimed he had done the drumming on Can the Can by Suzi Quatro , maybe a dream he had .

Tinternet was way out of reach way back then but that conversation festered me for years .
Found ot later it was true , it was him but all went under the radar at that time , tidy guy too .

More name dropping , Terry WIlliams in The Duke pub bottom end of Morriston before a game at The Liberty , got chatting , another tidy chap

I waffled on about Dire Straits and gossip back then , he was more concerned about the Swans and how they were doing .

There’s a Jimi Hendrix music evening on Saturday featuring a great guitarist Denny Illet and backed by a big band at Swansea International Jazz Festival, if you’re into Jimi.
