Number 3 is too young…

I was watching some old episodes of Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Really old episodes. Mark Lamarr was hosting.

And when they did the lineup, the question was ‘Which one of these is Paul Gray – the bass player from Eddie and the Hot Rods?’.

I know him! He works for the Musicians Union, and has played host to me in towns across the bottom and left hand side of the country when I’ve given seminars.

He was dismissed from the lineup as being far too young: “You would have been minus two when Eddie and the Hot Rods were around.” I hope he took that as a compliment.

But it was very exciting to see him on the show. Like when I bought Trivial Pursuit in New Zealand way back – and Trevor Reekie and Barry Jenkin were both answers to questions.
