Hi Tim, this is Gary, I miss seeing you at the Poet and Patriot. I want to let you know that I watch all of the videos you post. You give a perspective of British rock that I know little about, and for that I say Thank You!!! P.S. Is this the band that played in Islington?
Hi Gary. Good to hear from you. I started this channel to replace my performances at the Poet when we were stuck at home during COVID-19. It was only intended to fill the void for my global fanbase and me until we could all go to the pub again. Unfortunately the pub closed, so we never did. It also seemed to be an effective way of maintaining engagement with my music. Clearly, my stories about "almost" making a hit record, and my singing, paper-tearing grandfather from Plymouth have limited appeal to all except folks who know me, so it was always a little tongue in cheek, but the stories are true, and yes - it was The Optics who played in Islington! (Thanks for paying attention. There will be a quiz at the end of the semester.) The irony is that my music documentaries are way more popular than my songs! 🤣 Take care, Gary. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment.
