Malcie. It was an amazing night last night. Martha, my daughter, was especially delighted to meet Steve backstage afterwards. He was absolutely charming and signed a Steve Harley t-shirt that she'd decorated herself. (I was quite jealous)**. True to form I completely clammed up myself and though I'd have loved a picture taken of me and Steve I felt it was too much to ask.......so I just took this one of Steve with Martha.


Great, isn't it!
What a star!

**actually I was very jealous!

when i met steve at the ship and star years ago now l also clammed up. but eventually had some sort of conversation with him but cant remember what. would probasbly happen again as well

Sooooooooo looking forward to going on Thursday (Newport).

Al & Sarah.

HEY MARTHA, YOU MUST KEEP YOUR GUARD UP A BIT HIGHER AND ALSO LEAN
BACK A BIT FURTHER KEEPING YOUR WEIGHT ON YOUR BACK FOOT READY FOR THE
COUNTER PUNCH FOLLOWED UP BY THE COMBINATION TO STEVES CHIN. THAT
SHOULD PUT HIS LIGHTS OUT, JUST ASK DOROTHY HA HA. COOL PIC!! ONE
YOU'LL ALWAYS TREASURE.

sounds like a great start to another SH tour - I'm looking to get some
extra holiday to see next weekend's shows oop north.

Still kicking myself for losing the power of speech when I met Steve. There was so much I wanted to say and I'd virtually rehearsed it

I wanted to tell him how, in the 70's I'd been given a small black and white photo of him in a tie-dye t-shirt from two people I used to babysit for, Bill and Jo Vincent, members of Odin (a folk group Steve was once a member of). I lost it while I still lived at home.
My father died in July this year, leaving us orphaned and me and my three sisters had to clear the family home. I really hoped the photo would turn up but it didn't. However I was thrilled to find my first holy communion rosary which was given to me by my mother. I pulled it out of the box and there at the bottom under the rosary was........not that photo but a very small picture of Steve that I'd cut from a magazine. Made me smile!
