Cost about a million quid to hire him for a 45 minute set apparently (Robbie, not my mate).
Mate had to sign up to a non-disclosure agreement about Robbie as he had a clause in his contract that if any press turned up, he wouldn't have to play but would still be paid in full.
Brilliantly organised too apparently. Not one of the guests knew he was going to be there - my mate, who is the singer in the band. wasn't even allowed to tell the other bandmates who it was until 2 hours before.
Hope the birthday boy got his money’s worth.
I knew him slightly for a period because, in my early 20's, I was in a band and good mates with the guy that later went on to produce Go West's first album. As I've mentioned before, it got me a visit to the studio during the recording of the first album and the opportunity to see Alan Murphy and Pino Palladino in action.
Sorry. That's probably now done it for you lot too....
Birthday bash gig for Rob at Robannas studios in Birmingham. I was playing bass in an AC/DC tribute (I was standing in as their bass player had just had a baby, or was ill, or something like that).
I was in The Vapor Corporation (TVC), which was Dave Fenton from The Vapors next band project and once played Ace's 'How Long' at a work music industry do with Rob Davis of Mud/Kylie's 'Can't get you outta my head' fame
*An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.
Also had a jam with Jon from JettBlack, Paul Gilbert and also Nita Strauss.
And here's one coming up - in July I'll be sharing a stage and playing with Paul Gilbert (again), George Lynch, Bumblefoot and Eric Gales in New York
there was a period where we were on the same circuit as Uria Heep.
Never actually crossed paths with them but several times they played either the day before, or the day after us..
