Hastengas Group: Members Posts: 319 Joined: Nov. 2010 Posted: Mar. 31 2011, 11:06 Ive been sorting through some old audio cassettes and came across an interview that Mike did on BBC radio 2 shortly after the Horse Guards Parade concert....he talks about buying a Porsche of off Nicky Horn at Capital Radio, who said he liked the sound of the engine note as the turbo whistled... and then his passion for the margue for a ten year period until he settled into "My comfortable old Mercedes" Was a nice find for e and something Ive probably never played since listening to the original broadcast....he mentions an upcoming album he was working on featuring just Guitars! We all now know what that was. Happy days. Back to top

The sat and drank champagne, and Mike says that as odd as Richard is, he actually really likes him. Back to top
