Moody Blues founder and former Wings guitarist Denny Laine watched Jet Harris and The Rapiers' packed Me and My Shadows Thursday at Thurrock's Thameside Theatre. "I thoroughly enjoyed it," said the Birmingham rock legend.
"He came along as a long-time friend of Billie Davis," reported Ralph Gowling. "Thameside is a bit off the beaten track by UK standards, so it was amazing he took the trouble to get there. Not only did he stay for the whole show, but he also stayed around for about an hour afterwards chatting to Jet, Billie and co. and posing for pics."
Other marvy highpoints noted by Mr. Gowling:
- "Audience was incredibly enthusiastic—lots of people clapping with hands held high and whistling."
- "Jet's Nivram got a particularly thunderous reaction."
- "Billie did a new number, Fire and Rain, which got lengthy and loud applause."
- "Jet praised Colin P-J: 'In my opinion he is on a par with (Hank) Marvin.'"
