Saw them in London a few years ago supporting The Frantic Four Quo line up - what an awesome evening- both great players - and we were lucky enough to have dinner after the gig at the next table in the kebab shop to Norman and his friends after the show - a great musician and a genuinely nice guy - we left him alone through dinner, he saw we spotted him and didn't hassle him, he chose to have a chat as we all left at the kebab shop at same time. As musicians in a band ourselves we had the classic "We're not worthy" moment.

What a joy it is to hear somebody who loves music keeping it really simple. Many of us spend a lot of time and money farting around with different amps, guitars, strings, picks and watching all the guitar reviews... but still never get the sound we want - probably because it doesn't exist anyway. I love Wilko. :)
