    Wow! He was so young.

    So was Billy ;)

    Thanks everyone for your kind words. Now for some out-takes as they come to hand – first up, Mainstreet on Queen St in 1983 and the Gluepot in 1990. The former no longer exists, the latter is unrecognisable.

    I like the idea of commemorative plaques.

    Bragging rites...

    and the memory is still blurry

    Doug Hood introduced me to Billy Bragg
    after the Carlton gig in Chchch, last century,
    I remember being most impressed that he
    knew the proper pronunciation of my surname...
    - but then 'e would, wouldn't 'e...
    Lovely bloke,
    great night...

    as an aside:
    Chchch now retains very few
    of its musical landmarks...
    well not many,
    if any....

    *from wowsers to bowsers?
    Hmmm, that means the fossil fuel firm, Z, formerly known as Shell, may well really be the old firm, the Great Old Ones, Yogh-Soth-Oth and crew...

    Those Scawts pronunciations . . . if McWhirter is pronounced as MacFeeter, then should a Scottish foetus be spelt as whirtus?
