OTD in 1976 I want to see the Sex Pistols for the first time. Notre Dame Hall, just off Leicester Square, being filmed for LWT. A media event - felt Warholian with the lights cameras and people wearing weird clothes acting out. I am at left back with the beret, moving in. Photo by Jonh Ingham

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

Some of the lads, who did come back next.
This week in 1979, Eton Rifles became the Jam's biggest hit. So far.
Possibly their best single, too.

Gilson Lavis, rest in peace.

Some news stops you in your tracks. Unbelievably sad to hear the Squeeze legend, Gilson Lavis has died.
For fans, Gilson will forever be the heartbeat of the band. A giant of a drummer in one of the greatest ever British groups.
