Package set at Granada Tuting, it would have been Johnny Kid and the Pirates, Del Shannon, Roy Orbison, all these amazing people on the one.
[Gm] Package, probably when I was about 15, Tuting Granada.
I sort of fell in love with the guitar by about [F#] 11 I think, I just loved guitars and I had some Spanish lessons and all sorts when I was little.
And then just got the joy of buying new guitars [D] and like, Dwayne Eddy came out, Shadows, you know all that era.
And one of my oldest friends was the drummer of Mud, Dave Mellon, and he was a neighbour from an early age and we moved to a different part of Mitcham and we were still in touch, we met each other in the holidays.
And he learnt drums as well so I formed a group with him and we [F] advertised in the Melody Maker for another musician, a bass player and stuff and it all extended from there really.
I think when you're young you enjoy it so much, nothing's a struggle, you're like excited about every gig, you know excited about even going to a guitar shop, you know, everything is so exciting when you're young.
Shame it's not like that now.
I can remember going on the bus with amp and guitar down to Dave's to rehearse and then later my dad got, when we were just a three piece, my dad got conned into driving us everywhere.
[E] He loved it, he was the roadie my dad, I think he had a lovely era at the time.
And I can [F#] remember our drummer being sick all over the back of his car and he'd go mad one night from playing in a social club, too much booze.
The great thing about that era, 60s, 70s, you could, we found, with Mud, we all gave up our jobs [G] and we went professional for a month.
[N] We got offered a Swedish tour and I think a Swedish band came to the UK and we went there and then we gave up our jobs and said right we want to do this seriously.
So we were probably about 19 then, 19, 20.
And from that tour onwards [G#] we managed to get agents in the UK, we'd be touring all over the place.
A lot of bands used to [Gm] think we came from Manchester but we didn't because we were always up in Newcastle, Manchester, Scotland, everywhere.
And we made a really good living before we were even known, you know, which there were loads of gigs out there then.
And Mickey, I think it was a Northern [F#] agent, said this band's amazing live, you know, because we used to muck [E] around and all this stuff live.
And Mickey came to see us and Chin and Chapman and that was it from there on.
The first two were session musicians but we had to replay everything ourselves for Top Of The Pops in those days.
So we had to remake [F] Crazy, so we could do it, Crazy and Hypnosis.
And they were sort of top 20 those two.
And then from the next one which was Dynamite we played everything.
Mike sort of became the fifth member of the band.
He played rhythm guitar and from then on we played on everything from Dynamite.
I've got a really good quote from Nicky Chin.
We spent a whole day on Tiger Feet and we were allowed to write our own B-sides.
He said at the end of it, right we've got 15 minutes to make this B-side.
I think we've got that on tape somewhere.
I think up until [F#] before the records, once you get those hits, the road crew goes up, you've got to carry [F] lighting, you've got to carry PA.
So it all gets more expensive.
So we had to, like [Gm] a manager, we had to really budget all that sort of thing and sort that out.
So we did make money but before [G#] that, no overheads, we were doing alright really.
Which a band today can't do, there's no
