Not entirely to blame... at several QL meets over the years, and in Ireland, Roy and myself found ourselves sitting on the seafront or in a beer garden, drinking wines and beers, and discussing our other love - music.
Roy is a walking encyclopedia of rock n'roll roadie stories. I mean, unbelievable. You just couldn't make this stuff up. He's worked with Manfred Mann, Accept, UDO, Steve Harley, Kingdom Come to name but a few. Not to mention his own bands, such as Dogwatch (who were bigger than the stranglers for a time) and last post. Most of the stories ended with me laughing my head off, and saying "Roy, you really should write a book"..... Ashamed to say I haven't had the time to read it yet due to ill health, but I plan to soon. I want to get one personally. I have no doubt it's a great read. Darren.
