DEAR ALL
Added 23rd July 2009. I have finally cracked how to upload the 50 odd pages - 82 postings, I have.
They are the first 82 postings of the thread - April 13th, 2008 - October 31st 2008 - that were all 'lost' on the site.
Unfortunately, I cannot upload the thumbnails - the photos. Hopefully, the people who put them up can re-post them. They are very important to document 'Dan Pawson and the Artesian Hall Stompers', as best we can.
I would like to thank Dave Senior for giving me the clear instructions which enabled me to transfer my tif file into a form that can be edited and re-posted on the forum.
It is not possible to re-post in this window. Rather, the postings are added on the date I added them, i.e. scroll down to the appropriate date to locate them.
MANY THANKS - I ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ALL IN THE NEW DAN PAWSON 'LIVING THE LEGEND - 1971-1998' CD WHICH WILL BE RELEASED IN A FEW WEEKS ON 504 RECORDS.
1st November 2008 to when the thread was lost.
Here are the first 4 notifications of a total of 11 that I have.
These 4 notifications cover the period from 1st – 13th November 2008.
I can post the rest later if this works.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHERS?

My alerts are now back and I have just realised how many postings I have missed. Unfortunately I also was unable to make to the O2 Arena though I would love to have been there. Spud is doing a wonderful job of unearthing documentary evidence of the early days of the band and I will endeavor to add to this with what I can find in my archive. There was a time in the Larry Slatter era when we used to play in the Cotswolds on Easter Mondays making the journey by coach, the significance of this you will see in a moment. The venue was the New Inn at Wroxton, near Banbury. We would play there on the lunch(dinner in the Black Country!)time and consume a copious amount of beer. On one occasion this resulted in my collapsing on to a table of sandwiches which had just been laid out for the band. In the afternoon we would board the coach and head for Tuck Mill Farm, Childswickham, near Broadway where we would get stuck into Mr Crump's cider. On one such occasion a member of our following whose name slips my mind at the moment attempted to follow us in a minibus and promptly crashed it into a telegraph pole leading to hospitalisation of the incumbents. On one of these occasions we proceeded from Mr Crump's to an evening gig arranged by Larry at the "Brewery !" Club in Stratford. We set up on a high stage behind curtains beyond which sat the audience. As the curtains opened for the start of our performance Dan rolled forwards out of his seat and somersaulted into the flower arrangement that ran the length of the front of the stage. A startled elderly lady in the front row jumped to her feet in astonishment and screeched "He's drunk, he's drunk!!"
A few snippets to conclude this posting; Pat's dog, Tilly died and she now has another one whose name I forget.
Richard, you will be aware that we had a four year Saturday night stint at the Fish & Anchor, Offenham in the Vale of Evesham because you depped for Dan on one occasion. There were some great characters there including Nobby Stanley who would always get up and sing "Don't have any more Mrs Moore" and Cider Dick who once stole a chicken fro the back garden of the pub and tried to sell it to the "gaffer". Bob Barton played piano on these sessions you may recall.
Cheers
Stan

Hi Richard.
This is a fabulous thread!
I can't believe you've seen June recently. I fancied her something rotten back then! She broke my heart when she went off with a guy called Jim Rocket - nobody was known by their real name in those days, as you no doubt recall.
A lot of the old Salutation regulars (me included) ended up drinking at the Brown Lion, Hall Street, just up from the White Horse. There was never any jazz there, but it was a good old pub all the same. Grampus is no longer with us, sadly - he was a very good friend of mine indeed. Neither is Bomber or Les Page. Harry Tater emigrated to Australia and disappeared. Aidan I saw last year at an Emmitt Till concert in Shenstone, but he was just about to move to Ireland and we've not heard from him since. He plays great mandolin and banjo. Claude is still around, according to Aidan, but not seen for many a year. The others I named have just vanished into the mists.
Apart from Stan, I don't recall the names of the other AHS members you mention, but I reckon I'd recognise them even now.
The other place I recall was the (in)famous No 27 Bristol Road, a large house near the junction with Belgrave Road. I haven't a clue who owned it, but it was just one long party there. I think there's a MacDonalds where it used to stand.
If I could get it, I'd down a pint of rough cider to the old days!

Hi Big Gee, have been watching this site with interest. My son Spencer Pawson put me onto it. Wish I could remember you, I must have known you really well. Got a pic? Meet up with Lord Richard every so often, last saw him in London couple of weeks ago when they had musicians from New Orleans over for 2 days at O2 arena. Great time. ps I still drink cider. Do you remember the Greyhound? Good pint there!

What a wonderful series of photos I have just received in your email. You say you don't know how to post them on the forum. Well, nor do I but I'm going to have a go. First of all, because I don't know if there is a Mb limit in size of postings I'm going to try and submit the first three, namely of Dan in the Cambridge Inn, Birmingham 1966. I've cropped them all into individual photos and if this attempt is successful will upload the others tomorrow. Let's see how it goes.
