That was on the train in 1972.
That's the King Bees, the first group we were
in.
Well when we first met it was- we were enrolling
for the cubs. 18th Bromley. We were about
nine years old and, y'know, we became best
friends.
We stayed very close and formed various little
bands together and kept the music going through-
I decided that the music scene wasn't for
me and I went back to finish my art college
but I knew David was destined for bigger things
because he was an extraordinary chap.
A lot of people point out that he's got different
colour eyes, it gives him a bit of mystique
but it was unintended damage I did to his
eye when I was 15. It was over a girl and
it was a silly thing and he said afterwards:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it." But
it was just one of those stupid things you
do when you're a kid and I always felt awful
afterwards that- It's kind of left a little- It 
made him quite distinctive in the end.
He's made so many people happy with his music,
that's an amazing- to enrich peoples lives,
it's a lovely gift. I think he should be-
he's left a fantastic legacy with his music
and films and ever- he's a man of all talents,
many talents, and his spirit lives on.
