[Ian Stuart]

Fair enough i would say, we all need to be valued!!

I remember there were various artists John played and then stopped 
playing after meeting them - a Scandi band is in the back of my mind but 
i can't remember who?

And do you remember his disgust when a Welsh chap put in lots of 
erroneous votes for - was it Lluber Llythog (excuse the spelling) for 
the Festive Fifty?  Much grunting and tearing of paper!!
