[Albion] Happy 65th birthday Attilla The Stockbroker

[Lenny Rider]

One of the wonderful things about ‘the struggle’ is that I came into contact and became friends with people I would probably have never met.

John Baine a classic example, happy birthday to the punk poet, a real card but also when the chips were down a true friend.

Have a great day old boy

 

[Norman Potting]

I always enjoy reading his musings on various social media platforms even if I don't always agree with them. He should be the next PM

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Happy Birthday John. You shook the Faversham Folk Club to its foundations, er, 20 years ago

Oh, and your autobiography is a great read.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Happy Birthday Comrade!

Cheers everyone. 65 and not in any way retiring as those who know me well are aware It has been an incredible privilege (and a lot of hard work!) to earn my living for 40 years from the words and music I'd have done as a hobby anyway. And I echo Lenny/Ian's words absolutely - the Albion, and especially the battle to save it, is the place I have met and become friends with so many people I'd never have encountered any other way. I am still charging round the country and mainland Europe doing gigs, linked in where possible as possible with Albion games (though it is so much more difficult now because of fixture times) and cherish the memories and achievements we all share.

Punky Reggae Party at the Duke of Wellington in Shoreham tonight, fund raising for Adur Community Cafe here in Southwick, helping those who need it in the worst times I have seen in my lifetime. All welcome, and if you'd like to donate, you can do so here. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fee...qWKLFzrgWgbh_DET8JKR9my66tFKfPa6PdvkIGM_K0gPo

Happy Birthday. Some wag at the Wellie has changed it on the chalkboards to your 70th ..........

 

[Swansman]

Happy birthday! Always interesting to read what you have to say. I think I've read 10 000+ very old threads here and you always come across as sensible.

[Saladpack Seagull]

Happy Birthday indeed John. Never forget your tribute to Roy that night at the Amex.
