^^^ I've spent a month with Mick Ronson, as engineer in a studio where he was a band's producer.
Have also worked with Steve Hillage.

^^^ If I manage to dig up some photos (I know they exist somewhere...) I'll post.

Edit: am on the job, will contact some musicians etc.

Sadly, Mick R. was already having health issues at the time, did mention doses of pain of unknown origin, later diagnosed as more than serious.
A great personality, gentle, smiling and friendly during all the work and long hours.

So, found a few pictures, Mick Ronson with the band's drummer & on a mountain trip, Steve Hillage in the studio with my studio owner partner, me (right) at the controls, when I had both hair and hopes :O)

Surely more \ better pics somewhere, will keep looking.

We could return the favour Musky, and send you Carling (which is as Bergs suggests) *wink2* *whistle*

I'm an ale/bitter drinker, can't stand lager, what do you have by way of a good drink.  Maybe our lads can bring a bottle back when they visit Oz in Feb/Mar 24?

Have a good day all!

Cheers
