No actual photo of the event this time, but the Great Man was only a few feet away from me in HMV, checking out the jazz section (for completists' sake, round about the C/D/E section - as opposed to M for Mobley where I was), nattily attired in hat and plaid check overshirt, similar to a Pendleton or maybe a Ravenscroft... I didn't buy anything, but headed home grinning.
THE Friday Boys are a disparate group of men spread across Tyneside who meet once a week - 'always on a Friday' - to talk about the arts, raise a glass to recently departed heroes and villains and, at the evening's end, down a whisky or two. The FBs have only one golden rule - talk of the working week is strictly off-limit.
