The telling of these stories is an acknowledgement to all those who created them. The following are mentioned for their actual contribution to the writing of the book, with apologies to anyone missed.

Andy Boote, John Darlington, Dave Evans, Zoe Johnson, Melvyn Allen, Fred Watts, Andy Smith, Slim (Wayne Davies), Linda Johnson, Des Parton, David Rushworth, Phil Doody, Ian Moore, Ade White, Jim Farmer, Matthew Johnson, Sam Molony, Geoff Edwards, Dec Higgins, Josh Bailey, Barry Bray, and Jonty Ellwood.

This has been a long, extensive project. What began as a booklet grew into a book and it couldn’t have happened without generous support. We would like to thank everyone who gave time, effort, humour, inspiration and intelligence to create the light and life of this kaleidoscope of memories. Let’s raise a glass to absent friends. Let’s raise a glass to those phenomenal musicians whose rhythmic songs of joy and sorrow inspired rock ‘n’ roll.
