ROBERT WYATT

Whilst having a spot of lunch down in Louth today I nearly choked on a mushroom in surprise, as sat at the next table was Robert Wyatt and his good lady Alfie. A well known & very respected musician in his own right, Robert has done much work with Roxy's Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno as well as many others; including playing on Dave Gilmour's recent solo album 'On An Island'. I plucked up the courage to talk to him and was really moved by the guy's warmth and friendliness, having a chat about Roxyrama and even broke off eating to pose for a photo with me (which we had to take twice cos the first didn't come out!).

It made my day; it was an honour to meet the great man. My heartfelt best wishes to both you and your wife Robert!

Pics of Robert with other celebrities at Phil Manzanera's wedding can be found HERE and a classic performance of him with Dave Gilmour can be found HERE. But the cream of the crop has gotta be this perfomance.......here.....
