A bit more nostalgia

Transfering some old Cassettes of Warm Jets, and  Paul Ballance keeps on about someone famous from America.will be doing a guest spot we kept waiting and there was a appearance,by Daryll Hall,He is recorded on the last track, he sang and played guitar on No Go Soho,This was a complete surprise to me ,well the date was 3.9.1977.
Has anyone else got memories of stars at the Bridge house
.Another one i have just found out is Dave Marks ,one of the founded members of The Beach Boys ,he told me himself when i bump into him at a music function.this year,It seem these guys,who are playing huge venues like to hide away in,as Dave said Real Gigs,which they all played on there way up to Stardom.,Any More Memories.T.M
