While I was working at HMV it was difficult to travel outside Cambridge to gigs. By the time I finished at HMV it was also financially impossible. However, when Rick Wakeman played at Peterborough I really had no excuse to stay away. The band played an amazing set - opening with Catherine Parr - and afterwards I (as I always do) waited around to meet Rick and the band. Lovely guys as ever, who were quite happy to sign the stuff I'd taken along - including my ticket stub. Even better, they'd ditched their rubbish singer and had Ashley Holt back with them...a true legend of Wakeman's work from the 70s. You can't beat that!
