Monsieur Smudge,
Bravo! What a fabulous work of art. It makes the Roxy corner in my study look amateur.
There can't be a Ferryista in the world who doesn't envy you your treasured item.

Very nice, Smudge

Eno's signature is not so rare, but he is a difficult character to deal with in person. He signed a lot of stuff for the War Child charity in the mid-Nineties: posters, postcard sets, etc. I met him only once, at the Saatchi Gallery in St. John's Wood, on 21 June 1995, and found him to be a deeply unpleasant man. A shame because he has worked on so many of my favourite records (not just the Roxy stuff).

Well, Peanut I will have to strongly disagree here. I met Brian in the audience at a Damien Dempsey gig in Bush Hall and he was incredibly friendly to me and the 3 other members of my family. Very interested in our opinions, where we lived (even taking on an exagerated Suffolk accent!) and quite modest as well. I asked him about the recent Roxy recordings and remember him saying, "the world doesn't really need another Roxy album". I disagreed - as you would.
To sum up, top bloke very friendly, the only other musician I've met as pleasant in person would be Robert Wyatt.

That's okay. We will have to agree to disagree. I'm glad you had a positive experience with Eno.



As I wouldn't. On this point, Eno and I are in complete agreement.

As a variation on the signed FYP theme, I thought I'd post a photo of my signed & framed Siren cover.

If Eno can be said to represent Mk. I Roxy (let's not split hairs about who was in the band before they recorded... ), then Eddie Jobson arguably does likewise for Mk. II Roxy.
