Meanwhile, Open Access operators look set to expand so the picture isn't as clear as it seems.

That's odd, because when SSI went bust in Redcar Subway claimed it took them 2 years to train a steelworker just to make a sandwich and operate a till.....all on apprentice rate wages, of course.

Thank you for your kind comment. Trev was one of the kindest, gentlest people you could ever wish to meet. To play alongside him was one of the joys of my life.

It would have been 26 if some bugger hadn't nicked my copy of "Bumpers" way back then.

Tracey Chapman. That's it. I was never hip or cool. Or relevant. I did once own the first Sade album but only because my sister was in the same class at school as Stuart Matthewman. It bored me witless.

I first heard Pilgrimage in Debenhams in Hull where they were using it as a demo record for stereo systems. They wouldn't sell it to me so I had to go to Stardisc up the road. It's figured heavily in my music rotation ever since. Whilst most think Argus is better, this is my favourite.
