I have to tell you about my (brief) meeting with "The Daddy", Gary Moore, last night at Vibes From The Vines. I just couldn't resist a quick blag at the backstage gate so I could shake the man's hand. He didn't seem to mind sparing a couple of seconds of his time. I wished him luck (like he needed it) for the evening's performance and told him I was a big fan.
Later that night, he gave a top performance, underlining the fact that he's surely one of the greatest blues/rock performers in the world. I hope some of that magic rubbed off in the handshake as it's back to the drawing board for me!
We've got our own (beer) festival gig coming up in Barcombe - Barcombe Beer Festival on Friday 15th September at The Royal Oak. Should be fun. I might be able to spare Gary a few seconds myself if he knocks on my dressing room door (gents' toilets) to wish me luck. And I do need it!!
