Now I may have mentioned Roger before in that again it was really my elder brother Steve who liked the Family and brought home records by them. I ‘got' it but somehow they never quit grabbed me as much as they did him! I think I brought the second album (Steve having come home with their debut) and we did play them an awful lot! Here the introduction mentions them as “heavy” never thought of them as that; more ‘art school rock’ to my eardrobes . . . .still rock on Rog!

Happy Birthday Chappo. The very first live band I ever saw were Family Jan'69 Sheffield City Hall (supporting The Nice). I was just blown away by them and especially Roger's electric, tambourine pounding performance. Straight out to buy "Family Entertainment" the next day. Lucky enough to interview him in the last days of our Fanzine '78. Such a huge moment in my "music life".
Wow now THAT is an anecdote and a half! Thanks so much for dropping by with that little juicy gem Sealyman!
Oh yeah, got a love a bit of Chappo. Happy Birthday to him. Loved Family. Think Burlesque is my fave. Or maybe No mules fool. Or there again.............Cheers Andy DD
Absolutely. Another top favourite of mine is the live recording of "Holding The Compass" on Anyway
