Who'd have thought it?
A few random observations about the line-up on the recording...Leon Thomas toured with Santana in the seventies (Newcastle City Hall), Ian Carr's Nucleus rocked-up at, of all places, the Buddle Arts Centre, Wallsend. In the line-up that night was ex pat Tynesider Mark Wood (guitar) and Chris Spedding visited the Jazz Café on Pink Lane a few months ago with Charlotte Glasson.
