I have loved this wonderful lady since the first day we met in the late 80s. Always full of life & kindness. I would never have had the life in music that I have had without her love & support. She will be in my heart for the rest of my life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy Birthday to Johnny… we have been friends since we met whilst at school in Wythenshawe, Manchester in the 1970s. Here’s a clip of us jamming together at a Cult soundcheck a few years ago in our hometown.

Without reading this entire thread. I recorded with Steve in '96. It was one of the greatest experiences of my musical life. Prior to recording he tried to do himself outta the job. I think the line was "What do you want me for... the demoes are great, just release them!".

I was never sure about this song... it's intentions were too bombastic & self indulgent. But I just had a rare listen to it and it bought a tear to my eye.

I wrote a horribly vitriolic song toward you when I was young & daft w/ my band The Wonder Stuff. It was a gag and it was shit. People still ask me to play it & I refuse. I want to offer you my sincerest apologies and wish you nothing but the best.
