yes well spotted/worked out .. according to Ray the album arthur was originally entitled Arthur's Pebble-dashed Nirvana which I think is such a cool name. Your turn to think of a little quizz question ! ...

Perhaps that title would have gone down well in 1969... New quiz: What is John Gosling's nickname and why was he given it?

John The Baptist - apparently Grenville gave John the name because, "of the way I looked, and also because I was still a church organist when i joined."

Carpenter, construction, that's it, I think he painted houses too but you got it Pebbles! When I saw John at the press night for Come Dancing in London last year, I had not seen him in about 30 years and it was like no time had passed. He remembered me well and we got along great. He was super nice nad like you daid down to earth. I only wish John Gosling was there too, he was a great guy too!!! We all hung out together in the 70's and had some really interesting and fun times ;D ;D
