Brian Callow, Ronny Waters, Bob Burtenshaw, Guitar Mick, Mad Phil, sausage rolls from Lou's cafe next door, Giutar and chess lessons. A 2 pence piece taped to the arm on the record player. Brian's mk3 Cortina. Les Bawcutt, the governor from the Dulwich shop on his moped. Stray, led Zep, ACDC, dire straits, any guitar based music. Such memories! Comment: Ted Lismore.
Anyone remember BRIAN HAWKINS at Lordship Lane and later as manager of Deptford High Street branch? David Rose.

(July 3, 2014) Jeremy Hine said:Wow that paper bag brings back memories. I used to love popping into Follett's in Lordship Lane. Up 2 or 3 steps to the vinyl selection. I even remember the very first record I bought there though sadly not one you'd boast about. It was Stephen Smith and Father, a 7ish year old boy on drums & his dad who had won Opportunity Knocks. I wanted to be that boy! I remember picking it up and having the biggest grin. I mainly remember the lady in the shop though can't think of her name.

I remember Brian plaling his Gibson 335 behind the counter when things were quiet. If I remember correctly, one of his favourite albums was Johnny Winter's first or second album. He also liked a bit of Wishbone Ash...
