I know there are some music fans on MMM, and for those into their rock music, the 25th September 2015 marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Led Zeppelin's John Bonham. Their music influenced so many bands and still gets substantial air play on rock stations. I was lucky enough to have seen Zep at Knebworth back in '79................ what a gig! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bonham |

I was at the same gig! 35th anniversary -he died in 1980. Knebworth was his last live performance I think.

I didn't realise you are or have been a Victory Wheeler. Yup a few years in the wheelers rose to the heady nights on VP but left just before they lost the Hayling campsite, had some damn fine times with them but as with all things life moves on and family has to take preference, now I don't have the ££ to buy a rod or the health or patience to spend years trying to build another, but did have lots of fun with my T bucket, then Derek Chapmans old Devon Delivery.

I didn't realise you are or have been a Victory Wheeler. Both myself and John did many years with the Wheelers , both having done committee time as well , we were also in UKK together  |
