Re: Garry Coward-williams
Personally, I'm not really interested in the stuff about the old days, we get the gist. I'd really love to hear the stories from all concerned after Hugh left though. I know it's probably only of minority interest but that's what I would like to read about, to fill in the gaps etc. I think I agree....

Re: The forums are back....
I can still get on using the temporary link, but the domain still directs to the old "forbidden" page. I've done a dns flush on my Windows PC, so I'll give it a few more days and see what happens. Using DNS assigned by my ISP , Three. And it's all back now, the rest overnight must have do...

Re: After seeing the UB40 news ...
UB40 are and were the only group I have ever walked out after 30 seconds,Bournemouth BIC in 2003 with The Stranglers supporting. Yeah, that's longer than I lasted, I left after The Stranglers when they were at MEN. Partly as I didn't think I'd like them so it wasn't worth hanging about, and partly ...

Re: After seeing the UB40 news ...
Ali Astro And Mikey to me seem to have a big chip about the money. I dont think the others have ripped them off, more like they blew there share and want more. So sad to see such great friends and family fall out. But thats Rock and Roll for you. I didn't get any sense that either side had been rip...

Re: After seeing the UB40 news ...
Just finished watching "Promises and Lies", the UB40 documentary. I hadn't realised there was so much financial argument within the band, I thought he'd just left. Turns out there was a big mystery over where all the money had gone, Ali left (and two others followed) and it's led to a fami...

Re: Garry Coward-williams
BTW I posted a comment on the Stranglers Memorabilia page on Facebook a while back as there is some bloody amazing photo/stories posted on there and I suggested that they all work together and plan a 'coffee table book' of all the fab historyinblack. Something like that could work quite well now th...

Re: BBC4 Roundhouse Documentary
I skipped through some of it, but there was quite a bit of interesting stuff in it. Some of the clips were a bit long and there were a fair few repeated sections, as if it was really a 45-minute programme stretched to fit a time slot.

Re: Garry Coward-williams
I haven't seen anything come of it, I'm sure it would have been mentioned. I also hadn't realised that he'd become the editor of "Amateur Photographer" magazine for a few years.

Re: famous people you have met.
Other than various Stranglers at post-Hugh record-signing things, I can only think of David Sutton (ran David Sutton Motorport, which became Audi Sport UK while the quattros were rallying), David Llewellyn (once an Audi rally driver), Chris Coburn (head of Coburn Improvements, who did the rally deve...
