Hey Gary. The first outside show I went to was Rock Against Racism gig in Brockwell Park. An awesome day where we felt our unity was actually making a difference. And, among others, Elvis Costello and Stiff Little Fingers. Superb.

Vaughn was a beautiful soul & a handsome fella.
I’ve got so many memories of him.
Exploring London with our gang, going to gigs & clubs are at the very top of the pile.
Taken far too soon but what an influence he left on so many of us.
Blessed to have called him a good pal.
