there was some of all three in this first episode... gordo talking about what its like to be the singer with andy and stewart (separately) slagging him off, with love... andy cracking some jokes, stewart being stewart. all good.... some nice old shots too; some from around the world but others i've never seen too....

anyone who wants copies can send their email to halcyonlisa at hotmail dot com

I am on election duty on thursday and then leaving to go on holiday straight after, so depending on how much signal to my iphone you may not get a reply straight away, but I will not forget you & will possibly do something like a disc with three episodes on it or something once they have all been aired...

could also bung a bonus copy of Stings Winter Tales concert thingy on there as well lol lol

Have a lovely holiday. X

How do we watch these if we're not in the UK? Can't seem to get past the warning text...

and again they were on tonight's show "guitarists"

shots of roxanne from hatfield in 79, lots of cartoon reconstruction of gordo playing Roxanne in andy's putney pad and of them rehearsing in the basement of a hairdressers on the fulham road, andy was the only one who spoke, he described the birth of roxanne, some coments about ho wthe relationship between songwriter and guitarist can be strained at one point he said something like "sting would come with songs and i thought 'well, i've got better stuff than that, matey'", comments how gordo wouldn't sing anyone else's songs.....

and the rest of the prog was great too, some dr feelgood, slash, mick jones, geezer from def leppard, jeff beck, sambora, blackmore, et al.. and the gorgeous lauren laverne (swoon)... great prog.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. lauren. laverne.

oh, and yay! mr C.... although does that mean he won't have 'won' the 'As Voted For By The Audience Rock & Roll Band Drummer' award.

[HalcyonLisa]

Sitting here watching the final episode and keeping my fingers crossed that our guy wins the best drummer gong

he looks lovely, hasn't managed to get a word in yet, but it looks like a fun show

[stevel]

Agreed really hope Stewart gets best drummer.
Take another listen to MIAB and you'll see why.
Bloody Genius.

Is it really the last episode already?

I'm torn between wanting to know if he won or waiting to see the whole thing. What should I do?
