You won't know what you are missing until it is gone

I bought me a ticket for the orchestra show in Manchester next spring. Entered the site at 10:00 o'clock prompt and almost all the stalls were sold out already. Huh? Somebody must have ordered 100 tickets at once or at least tried to. Half an hour later, the held t...

Hi, Some news that came in my email box just now and reminded me of this great website which I first became aware of after the fantastic Countryside Alliance festival a few years ago. Nice to see that my photos are still up on this site by the way! Go to the Beauti...

Went to the Bowie exhibition last night and was blown away. Fantastic event. Was watching the promo film for Life on Mars whilst Bowie's hand-written lyrics were in front of me and the ice-blue suit he wore stood next to them. It said "Please do not touch" but come...

Must admit I've never quite forgiven Rod for visiting the Bottom Line in New York to Watch Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel and then deciding that the lead guitarist was just perfect for his new band he was putting together!! However all these years later it was nice...

Just printed off me ticket for the 'David Bowie Is' Exhibition at the V&A. Done it by the skin of me teeth tho. I knew the initial sales went well but had no idea the whole thing was virtually sold out. Sunday evenings are all that's left and some of those only have...

I'm in shock, I knew the ex spider from mars wasn't well, but didn't think his illness was terminal. Seen him so many times live, with Uriah Heep. An excellent musician/bassist. An all round nice guy. RIP

It seems that Steve is playing at Greenwich Borough Hall, London on Friday 19th July 2013. Anybody know any more about this? Mike

The Janice Long Interview show featuring Harley and two other plebs has just been filmed and will be shown soon on Vintage TV Channel 369 Sky,programme usually goes out on Sunday nights at 7.30pm and is well advertised on the run up to the show.

.........walked past this shop the other day! http://frockneyrebelvintage.blogspot.co.uk/

Just been listening to an interview with Mick Rock on the radio and when talking about the old Biba shop in Kensington High St, he said he remembered Cockney Rebel playing upstairs in the Rainbow Room. If there was one CR gig I would have loved to have witnessed, it...

Georgie Fame live this friday 8pm on Radio 2.70th Anniversary Special, The boy from Leigh did rather well me thinks!!

What a stressful day at work. Needed to chill. Cavaliers disc 3 and bottles of King Goblin have helped me unwind. God I love the original Cockney Rebel. And I love those demos!

hoping that mark ( the phantom ) a real nice guy from the forum that I had the pleasure of spending time with in Birmingham recovers from his fight with cancer . you can do this mate we will all pray for you .

Just heard Andy McClusky of OMD on Radio 2's Ken Bruce show say he had a Cockney Rebel scrapbook when he was younger and finally got to meet his first musical hero Steve, not so long ago. He then asked for Judy Teen to be played. If your interested it can be heard o...

Anybody else having problems accessing the offical site? seems like it has crashed??

Happy birthday to Karen Morrison, formerly of this parish. Have a wonderful day Missus and come back to regale us with your memories soon Michael xx

I don't know about the frantic four but the frenetic five are getting together next Tuesday for beer, curry and Ian Hunter in Sale. Phil C, Stewart G, Peter J-H, Graeme "Victor Meldrew" B and myself. I can't wait Peter and I have even blagged front row...

A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DARLING DARLING HUSBAND x x

During the Buxton gig Steve mentioned two potential bonus tracks to be played at Bridgewater Hall next year ..... Spaced Out and Big Big Deal. I doubt that the former has ever been played live and the latter very few times. I just know Mr Griffin will put me right...
