The first thing you should know about us is that we have people everywhere

Like many other subscribers I’ve been making do with curating my record collection during lockdown whilst waiting for the return of live music. Then in MOJO 332’s letters I saw a tribute to Poco’s Rusty Young, in which Clive Goodyer recalled going to Birmingham Hippodrome with his older brother in 1975 to see America and Poco, which coincidentally was my first ever gig. Not having older siblings, and having friends only into the usual Sab/Zep/ELP/ Yes, that Tuesday night after school I took the bus into town on my own and thus started a live musical odyssey, although I had to wait another few months until seeing a past-their-best Flying Burrito Brothers at the Town Hall.

Sleater-Kinney, The Murder Capital and

Elvis Costello were the last three gigs I went to, and perhaps together with Poco they are a good representation of the wide range of artists that MOJO does a great job of keeping us all in touch with. I’ve got a couple of dozen rearranged gigs pencilled in for the autumn so let’s hope that they can finally go ahead. See you at the rock show. Ashley Jones, North Wales
