    I loved every second of hearing you recall your memories of your upbringing… & slap bang in the middle of the London music scene by the sounds of it! How could you not grow up loving music with that background behind you chieftain!🤘🏻

      It was a special time mate for sure London was the place to be back then not anymore bro it’s finished! The Lemmy story was from my mum I was a nipper at the time. But met him loads in my security days and have a couple of good stories there 😉 thanks for watching me old flower 😛🤘🏻🍺

    Hi Dylan! Your vivid description of your early life was compelling! Full agreement on today’s law enforcement. I’m going to see family in Ontario this weekend and it’s the same situation as England. This type of video is what we need more of in the vinyl community. Cool stories everywhere here! ✌️

    Some quality tales there mate. I saw Gary Moore just before he died live at some festival in London. Dio and Heaven & Hell were suppose to headline but Dio pegged it that year too by memory. Always remember watching Gary and thinking he looked a right miserable bastard haha.
