Like everyone else I have been dreading this day. My condolences to Charlie's family, friends and the band. Thanks for all the wonderful music and memories that you gave to us fans. RIP Charlie you were loved and will be very much missed.

Kate Bush came from Welling in the Kent / South London borders just a short bus / train ride from Dartford! Best connection I can come up with.

I saw her at the Borderline last November in London. She is a real talent and just announced another UK tour for next year. Well worth catching a show.

Sorry to hear of your loss babyblue. Dogs are great companions, cherish your memories of Frosty.

Yes I like him. Always looked forward to Marc and T-Rex appearing on Top of the Pops in the early 70's. He was one of the giants of the Glam Rock era in the UK and one of the first rock stars I became aware of and went out and bought their records. He was a great loss in my view and I still occasionally go and see T-Rex tribute bands when they play nearby.

My first Stones concert in August 1976 on my 16th birthday at Knebworth when the announcer boomed out the bands name and I heard the opening chords of Satisfaction and then saw the band on stage with Jagger strutting out and singing the first words of the song. A real goosebump moment. It was my first ever gig as well so I started at the top!

QuoteDeltics Sad news, his "Illustrated Record" was essential reading and a vital source of information in the pre-internet age. This was my first Stones book too. I remember going to see the Stones at Knebworth in 1976, buying Roy's book, Black and Blue and Rolled Gold and have been a fan ever since. RIP Roy.

Drove home from Southampton to Dartford and got in at 2:00 a.m. after dropping my gig buddy off in Orpington. Kent. Can't sleep so having a couple of Irish Whiskeys to relax before bed. So glad we went to this show scored Pit A with our lucky dips and had a fantastic view. It was far more intimate than the 2 London shows and it was great to hear them play Sweet Virginia. Also good t

Hi Matt, I just wanted to say thanks for inviting us to your home today and showing us your stunning collection.

Yes I'm a fan. I saw Ian Dury and the Blockheads at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in the early 80's. They were a great band and he was a wonderful character and a great guy. Love him and his band wish he was still with us.

When I received my first bootlegs, I remember how exited I was when I received "Mick Taylor We Miss You" red vinyl. I was exited by the music on the record, and I was exited by the item itself.

Thanks Matt appreciate it. I would be definitely be interested in making a trip up to London from Kent to view your collection whenever you are doing a showing. I love the Steel Wheels bottle of bubbly and no definitely don't open it much more valuable if kept intact. I like the fact you have focused primarily on memorabilia and unusual items. There is so much to collect that it's

Fantastic collection Matt. Looking forward to the museum launch I would definitely love to come to that. I have a small collection myself of various items I have collected over the years. As a teenager I loved going for trips up to London to record fairs and collectors shops to buy bootlegs and various items of memorabilia.

I remember that Whistle test special they did on the Paris 1976 show. That was the first time I had seen any concert footage from the Stones and still remember what a thrill it was seeing a Stones concert on the TV.
