great thing for me ( and the band) to see has been the fantastic
responses and comments from all the fans so far.......it proves the
band are still well loved, still well remembered, and their music is
still very much in demand!

as much publicity as possible for the band and work with them in every
way I can to achieve this

T-shirt in a shameless ploy to further promote the band any way I can
and if you watch carefully this coming Saturday at 9.30pm on BBC 2 you
may be able to spot me! Robert Plant from Led Zep was one of the live
guests. I managed to talk to him very briefly afterwards and gave him
an EBB T-shirt as a gift - He immediately recalled John Paul Jones
putting together a band with Dave Gilmour and Steve Broughton for the
Hyde Park Free Festival in the 70's and he seemed genuinely delighted
that the band are still going strong and making great music! I'm
hoping he may wear the t-shirt on stage or something, or visit the
bands website and get in touch, or support their work in some way,
which would be a fantastic publicity for them.
