Wahay, we got the thread going.

I don't believe you Sam's Cross, Colleen came to me for confession. Three hail Mary's as penance.

Great paragraph Sam.

Yes, I saw quite a few of the early gigs at the Bull And Gate, the Sir George Robey, The Pindar of Wakefield, Dingwalls, the Diorama etc. I was a fan and a friend, as I'd known Shane since I first went to London with the Radiators in 1977.

I expect this correction can be explained by a brief period of dementia followed by an embarrassed lucidity?

I'm curious how you explain capitalization and punctuation errors.
