Dave, you're my hero! I loved Be-Bop, and I still do. Great choice!

DaveRam

^^^^ It's a brilliant 70's album Paul , everyone should have a copy of it in their collection , wonder what ever happend to Bill Nelson ?

DaveRam

Be Bop - Deluxe - Ships In The Night , think this might be from Supersonic  ;D
Apparentley Bill Nelson still lives near where i grow up in Selby of all places , he was from Wakefield so he's kept his Yorkshire roots .
He is a brilliant guitar player ? and is still recording , very much a  maverick i would say ?

One of my all time favourite singles, Bill Nelson "Do You Dream In Colour " (1980) it's a scandle it only got to # 52 on the UK chart , it was lightyears ahead of the garbage that was to follow in the 80's , and the video was brilliant  ?
