Yesterday (Sunday) we went to Poole and The Lord Nelson. A friend of mine, local Dorset photographer Jonathan Gooding, said he was going to bring the family down to see us. His son, Max, plays guitar. This lad is possibly just in his teens (sorry Jon – can’t remember what you said there!) and he had the guts to come and ask to have a go! Tony always said that when he was young no-one ever let him “have a go”…so he let Max play his new guitar..

Max came up and “had a go” and what a go!!! He played Sunshine of Your Love, the old Cream number and was brilliant. He got a huge round of applause from the pub and one member of the public actually snapped him on a mobile phone!

Great stuff Max – keep it up! See also Mike Finding-Online.com!

We also had a young lad named James come up at the end to “have a go” on the drums. Although he wasn’t quite ready to play with the band yet, he will soon I’m sure. Well done James!
