Autograph collecting can be controversial but many get great enjoyment from the hobby. It's not for everyone but I enjoy the hunt, the moment of interaction and the collectible piece. It goes without saying that an autograph gained in person is the best. Many don't have the chance collect autographs in person or indeed they may want the autograph of someone who has passed.

Quoteliddas Just to make you laugh. Years ago Darryl Jones guested for a group of friends on mine here in Milano. I took my bass to the gig and Darryl signed it after the show. Some time later I had to play the bass, was excited to show off Darryl’s signature, but didn’t know how I could play the thing without ruining the signature. So I decided to protect it with a plastic sheet for food.

Three years ago, Ronnie customised a Rolls Royce Wraith around his "I Feel Like Playing" album that was sold with a portion of the funds going to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Ronnie was one of nine British musicians to take part in this unique and amazing project. The result is mind blowing.

Ben was organising this himself and it's a big deal to get Ronnie to play... venue, equipment, transport, security etc... to keep the ticket prices down Ben has to arrange / pay for that himself, many costs are likely not recoverable due to Ben making the responsible decision to postpone the concerts before the UK lockdown was formally declared on the afternoon of the 16th which would have d
