I've had many a pint in the Angel Grosmont!

I was heading to Abergavenny from Bremen a couple of years ago and was on a Ryanair flight to Stanstead. I noticed that the person sitting next to me had a tattoo of a keyboard on his hand. We struck up a conversation, he said he was off to Sardinia and I said I was heading for Abergavenny. He replied that he used to play gigs there back in the sixties. Turns out it was Blue (Derek) Weaver formerly of Amen Corner. He said that Abergavenny Market Hall was always a "lively" venue. :lol:

I was just reading about the Vetch Field project and remembered that I saw this photo on Facebook. Apologies if I shouldn’t share as I don’t know whose photo it is.
Stunning shot. Obviously taken in the summer as I can’t remember that much grass on the pitch during the season. Another clue is the cricket pitch is being used at St. Helens.

Yep as they say , I was there .

Remember to this day hearing the sound check of Overture as we waited to go in .

It sounded exactly as if on the Remote Control album , which at that time was vinyl .
