Writing from Melbourne, AustraIia. I was having a look at the BEN (my wife's a Boltonian from the seventies and her Mum and sister are still there) after doing the dishes when I read your John Mayall article. It was good to see someone on the other side of the world talking about the same music etc that I grew up on. I was listenening to vinyl Movin On (1972) on the weekend which my sister had and which I used to play along to back in the 70's!. Anyway I'm still playing guitar myself and Melbourne has a good music scene. I was impressed a couple of years ago with Jazz FM while staying in Bolton as there isn't a completely dedicated radio station here.

Anyway signing off from the Antipodes and keep up the good work.
