We went to a gig tonight in our area and met up with people from all over the country who we use to live on the road with in the UK and Europe. I think we were all 20's and 30's then how times have changed. 
Daughter getting ready
This person shall remain unnamed. In the 80's the media liked to portray travellers as dole scrounging benifit scum which may be the case for some but most I knew worked. Anyhow one day we were at work and 2 police officers came on site and apparantly started upsetting some of the women from what I understand little J got wound up with them drop kicked one and knocked the other unconsious.
This fella put on lots of gigs all over the country and europe and runs stages at glastonbury festival and was awarded an mbe by the queen last year. Chris was also the dj for this event
This dipstick greg buried my scooter in a trench so only the handlebars were showing many moons back, in retaliation I put an axe through the bonnet of his car. I cut the fuel line on it and we had it on syphon feed from a bucket of petrol in the front footwell later that day. We then got stopped by the police for having 7 people in a 4 seater car. We were told take the motor back to site and if we ever see it again your booked.
Next up is Mel who use to live in a mtb ( motor torpedo boat ) on the fens
Berty Allsorts as he's known the trumpet player for various bands. He thanked me for getting him the best gig he ever played in 30yrs+ ago that I had forgot about. It was when I worked for Hawkwind.
Funny how we have all have memories of this and that from those days bit like fitting pieces of a jigsaw. Me and partner then went home to bed and left it to the youngsters to party on.
Oh yeah forgot the band was good too. They be called The Electric Swing Circus.
