He went to our local tandoori place not long after it opened, in about 1987. They still had his letter of commendation on show the last time I went there.

Budgie singer and bassist Burke Shelley
Budgie were the only "Real" group to play in Gainsborough while I lived there - real meaning they had released a few records and that we had heard of them. They were playing in the town hall, and of course we couldn't afford to go in and see them; so instead we stood outside for a while, listening (probably to the soundcheck, I now think); it was a Saturday in summer, the market place beside the town hall now empty, though it was early enough that sun was still out. It was always amazingly quiet at that time, in the hour when people had finished shopping and were having their tea and getting ready to go out for the night, so we were able to hear the music well enough. I don't think we stayed long.
