Hi Magic Tree,
Yes, I too can’t believe it was 50 years ago. I knew Pete (by accident!). He was a Hells Angel and I was a hippy. I’d seen him a few times with his Hells Angel mate but always kept a wide berth as hippies and Angels didn’t really get on that well in those days.
Anyway, I was at the FAG (alternative music venue) upstairs in the Swan and Railway. I was going down to the bar and Pete and his mate were sat on the steps. I slipped and kicked Pete in the back…. And thought “oh no, bloody hell!, but he turned round and apologised for being in my way… Phew!
He was a really nice guy who I always enjoyed chatting to... and I remember the headlines in the local press highlighting his wedding day… “Wedding Bells bring Angels”!
These days people endeavour to make their weddings alternative/controversial/whacky – Pete was an early pioneer!
Great seeing that photo again and 73 a good year for me as I met a great girl who became my wife!
