Amen Corner had a string of hits in the late 1960's. They all lived in a large house in Harrow, just outside London. Singer Andy Fairweather Low amazingly had a Cobra in the front yard , but many a time for a London gig he and Neil would jump into my MGB and have me take them, a lot of fun. Andy has spent the recent years touring with such people as Pete Townsend and with Eric Clapton (including "Unplugged") and Roger Waters . Blue Weaver and Dennis Byron went on to the Bee Gees for years, Alan Jones went into management, Clive Taylor became a recording engineer and Neil Jones became the chief photographer for his home city of Cardiff (after assisting me for a while !!).

Late in 1975 during one of my US visits I got to shoot what at the time seemed the big hype. But it was no hype. The show was Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at UC Santa Barbara. That was one of the shows you left as a believer, and Bruce is one artist that the same still applies 30 plus years later.
