The Album Three Friends was recorded at Advision and Command Studios in 1972. At the time of recording the track Peel The Paint Derek, the singer, told myself and Gary, the guitarist, to go into the recording room and “do something” for about two minutes. The live improvisation that Gary and I made became a section to Peel The Paint.

I really like your playing on the 3 Friends tours; the stuff on You Tube, particularly Empty City, is really nice. It was creative, in the pocket, and musical.
It’s wonderful to see you pay such an amazing tribute to what I consider to be the most underappreciated band of the 70s! Keep up the good work!
Are you playingin Europe in 2016?pleeease!
Thanks for all the good wishes to Gaz and also for TF, as soon as something is fixed for TF to play live again it will be on the TF web site and here, hopefully there will be something soon.
