“ A lifelong fan, I once stood outside the Locarno Ballroom in Glasgow in early 80's for over an hour because I was foolish enough not to buy a ticket beforehand.

“ A poet. And a playwright 'So like Candy' is a heart wrenching masterpiece. Love to all EC fans. 'Accidents will Happen' was my favourite track as I studied for my English degree ”

“ Saw him at Bracknell Leisure centre about 1978. Not looking forward to geeky guy in specs. He blew my head off. 'Watching the detectives' Awesome. A poet and lyricist. ”
