Any guitarists here?

[Joey66]

Played the Tent loads of times, they had a brilliant resident band for many years, Norman Young on guitar, think Ozzy Yu was also there for a while

Their main attraction was Tom O'Conner {starting out} & The Hillsiders a country band & I saw the Lettermen there for the first time followed them in most places they played in town etc - others Micky Finn - & Eddie Flanagan great comedians - Russ Abbott was on there too with his band the Black Abbots he was the comedian on the drums .... also a singer from Page Moss who did a Johnny Cash great impersonation act

The Compare was at the tent was a hoot - his introductions of a band was a hoot here they are - all the way from Page moss etc & you've seen them on the radio - straight from the Phoenix nights I heard him ask the club steward- I got the band booked for New Year's Eve & they won't confirm the date - The steward shouted Frank it's the 31st you idiot ....

Cabaret band I was in gigged with Tom O'Connor a couple of times.

And our singer with him backstage:


Like all of the comedians I gigged with, he was far, far, better live than on the sanitised TV programmes...

My son Tom

Got to love a bit of Satriani!

I noodle a bit on the axe but it’s definitely more slop than chops!

I sat opposite him in the tent club when he was starting out a school teacher doing gigs as a comedian he was great live act - as was Mickey Finn he was great live too

I love guitar. I struggle with some of the more complex stuff, though. Here's my profile pic for your consideration
