    Whahay Andy, a bit or Rory. Love him, thanks. Saw him at Oxford Town Hall (remember when they used to have rock bands there?) around 1971. Went with my first girlfriend - Jeeziz 50 years ago!! - first 'proper' rock gig I went to. He was awesome. Saw him couple of more times along the way, and he was always top notch. Always felt his studio LPs never captured the sparkle of his live shows. Cheers and stay safe neighbour. DD

    Thanks Dave! I went to loads of gigs at Oxford Town Hall too! Curved Air, Jethro Tull and Terry Reid (awesome!) but must have missed Rory but back when the first two Taste albums came out we adored him! I did see him live (Isle of Wight?)) but can't quite recall where now . . . . a lot of water [or something!ahem!] under the bridge since then . . . . All the best and you take great care also!
    P.S love the Irish TV show of him playing acoustic and would like to have heard more. What a player!
