Steve Robinson: Difference between revisions

“We hired a rehearsal room in Shipley, not far from the center of Bradford, and rehearsed there with Dave and Mick. After a while Mick Jackson came around to the rehearsals and by this time he was a member of Love Affair. He heard our band play and arranged the audition at Ronnie Scott's Club in Soho. Some time during this period we did a gig in Bath for BOAC which was the predecessor of British Airlines. Igginbottom was booked to do what today can only be described as a "corporate gig" but the shoot was never aired and I remember Allan had written some new material for the gig. Lost in time I suppose.”

“After Igginbottom broke up I sold my Gibson SG, the one I used on the album, for 50 Pounds Sterling to a music shop in London and proceeded to Carnaby Street where I bought a pink suit with which to further woo my fiancée. Back in Bradford things were bleak but I eventually hooked up with Graham Lockwood who played with Allan in the original Museum band. We found gigs as a resident band at various Mecca Ballroom venues.”
