R U the Uxbridge Stranger in this story ?

[bigchris]

Hi,

Wasn't sure which section of the forum this should go in ... thinking this should be an "OFF" topic ... but I didn't want to ristrict the audience of this story ( also been sent to the email list ) ... and it is of course about the Harpers !!

Last week ... I went to a mates house in Uxbridge ( Chris "the builder" Hoyle ) that I haven't seen in a while and he told me an intriguing story ... about the fact that he has met a guy at a car boot sale ( & believe they have now met on numerous occasions ) looking at some vinyl and my mate Chris asked ( just been friendly ... he is another northern Chris after all ) this guy what music he was in to :

Chris : "Aye up .... what music tha into" [ he dunt really talk like that ... been down sarf for too long !! ]

Stranger : " erm .... mainly Roy Harper " [ obviously expecting, like we all do for Chris to say "Who ?" ]

Chris : "Oh ... I'm not into him .... but I have a mate called Chris who is"

Stranger : "not Big Chris ?"

Chris : "yeah that's him"

Stranger : "Oh I know Big Chris ... been to loads of Roy & Nick gigs 'with' him"

The stranger then went on to tell Chris, that he used to own a record shop and has seen many many harper gigs over the past few decades and kept saying that he knows me.

Now I used to live in West Drayton ( for 10 years ), just down the road from Uxbridge ... and unless my memory has been too fried ... I'm sure I never knew any harper fan just living up the road ?!?

So if you believe this stranger in this story is YOU .... please get in touch !!

Cheers,

Big Chris.
