I first met these 2 young ladies in The Rumrunner 1980 where every night we partied, formed a band & eventually made 2 Taylor families, they’ve remained the best of friends ever since & are still as mad as ever… @traceyjtaylor @giovannacantone_gigi

Live Aid - Philadelphia 1985. Where I played guitar with both Duran Duran & The PowerStation as well as Tony Thompson playing Drums with Led Zeppelin & all kinda of misdemeanours. Possibly the most iconic music event of the era & a dam fine day out, out. #liveaid1985

34 years ago this week, Addicted To Love entered the Billboard 100 which I had the absolute pleasure of playing lead guitar on. The song ended up topping the US Billboard 100 chart at Number 1. It also went Top 5 in the UK, Number 1 in Australia and received 2 Grammy nominations.
