Hello folks.
I've just finished listening to all the podcasts. I enjoyed them very much. I was trying to recall where and when I first heard Roy. My teenage bedroom in Ancoats 1968? 69? was where I first heard 'You Don't Need Money' on the CBS 'rock machine' sampler. When I first saw Roy his latest album was Flat B & B and he could hit the high notes on Mcgoohan's Blues. I've been going to his concerts ever since, I've seen him dozens of times, I think he's brilliant, even when he forgets his lyrics. His concerts are amazing, from a tiny, packed out Witchwood to a huge, also packed out Festival Hall back to a tiny Band on the Wall and all points in between, his integrity is intact. I've never been dissapointed after a Roy Harper gig, I love it when he plays new songs, I love it when he plays one of the 'epics', I just love it when Roy plays live. There are some albums I haven't played for years, time for a retrospective I think. I've no idea what my favourite Roy Harper album is, he's made so many great records. Let's hope we get a new album soon, it's been far too long now, come on Roy, you know it makes sense.
Luv, Dave, xxx
