    thats it..nice one....Rory finished about midnight and with Mildenhall being in the middle of nowhere and no chance of any public transport i spent the night under a tree with a few other fans waiting for the sun to come up and public transport to start up, thankfully it was a warmish dry night.

    Rory was always very proud of this and mentioned that it was a real highlight of his career when he was invited to guest on the 1972 London Muddy Waters Sessions.

    Rory with his classic track 'Shadow Play' this is the final track on his 1980 live album 'Stage Struck.'..i have heard so many live versions of this song but this one will always be my fave..a fantastic way to bring the album to a close.
