Watch out for Big Linda at The Boogaloo

Had an early morning call from Joyce Moore, she is the wife of Sam Moore (Sam & Dave) and manager of Billy Preston.. Her and Billy were passing through London en-route to Copenhagen to do a TV special.. They will be back next week in the UK for a day. Billy is performing on Later with Jools at the BBC.

I have had one of those days today.. Paperwork, paperwork, editing, correspondence etc. Anyway, at least I feel like I am getting somewhere.

Now, Big Linda, a GREAT new band, produced by my mate Andy Wright (Jeff Beck, Simply Red etc etc) are playing their first gig on Monday 6th of June.. This will be at The Boogaloo in Highgate, North London.. www.theboogaloo.org I have heard what they were doing in the studio at Metropolis with Andy and they sound amazing. It's so hard to describe them as they are four young geezers who look good and sound a bit like Led Zeppelin amongst others.. They are bloody great.. So, if you fancy seeing their first ever gig, get down to on Monday night 312 Archway Road, Highgate, London.. I think this will be a bit of history in the making. By the way, the name, big Linda came from an ex Porn Star they they met who they referred to as 'Big Linda' and there you go... you learn something every day..

I am now getting on with editing and paperwork..
