Hi Fayyaz, thanks for the add! Don't know if you remember me. We once played the Conway Hall (in two different bands you were with the Brotherhood of Breath) and I think we maybe even did the odd gig together. Anyhow all the best to you.

Hi, Fayyaz - thanks for adding me - can't believe it's nearly a quarter of a century since that Dexys tour. I've put some photos of various band members on my website (www. mickbolton. com). Great to see that you've been doing so well since then.
