Today would have been the 59th birthday of Mike Hobbs, who sadly passed away almost 4 years ago (hard to believe it's been that long).
Such an amazing bloke, and still very sorely missed.

A fantastic night at the NEC last night.
Finally got to see Toto in concert - absolutely amazing, certainly one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
