That's been the view from my seat for the last 28 yrs.

It's fair to say that I'm a little bit fond of it.

Patty’s drummer was John “Admiral” Halsey, still around and at least until recently, a publican in Cambridge. He was also Barry Wom in The Rutles who I saw in Manchester a few years back and despite the advancing years and walking with a stick, an absolutely rock solid drummer.

He was a session drummer on Walk On The Wild Side and when asked what he thought of Lou Reed was honest to say he never met him, went in, did his stint, got paid and went home. That track used beaters not sticks and that was his idea, he felt it suited the style better and when he heard it, Lou agreed.

I’ve imagined him behind the bar in his pub in Cambridge and some local asking him what he used to do for a living and the looks of disbelief when he casually mentions drumming on an all time classic track “of course you did John, of course you did”
