Our manager got a call from Ringo Starr’s chauffeur, who said they needed a percussionist, and he suggested me. How did you get to play on George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass ? I said: “ I’m in a band.” And they came to see us at Eel Pie Island, and they liked us so we did it.įlaming Youth with Collins, front. And they were looking for a band to do this concept album they’d written. And, being a gay couple, they’d taken a shine to our keyboard player, who drank at this club in Warren Street. Ken Howard and Alan Blakely were the writers – they wrote for The Herd and Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. We were called Hickory, and then became Flaming Youth.
The band you joined when you were nineteen, Hickory, made a concept album about the moon landing. I’ll leave Genesis.” And Pete said: “Fuck, we’ve just asked Kenney Jones.” Cos Kenney Jones, unbeknown to most people, played on stuff when Keith was too out of it.

Do you think you had anything in common?* There’s an elite club of former child actors who played the Artful Dodger in Oliver! when they were kids and went on to be rock stars: you, Steve Marriott, Davy Jones of The Monkees and Robbie Williams. He’d been in Zulu with Michael Caine, so that was a real star. He had a lovely penthouse overlooking the river. We did the Great Western Festival in Lincoln two days later, and I remember meeting the promoter, Stanley Baker, on the Embankment somewhere. It was always friendly, as some of the guys were from that neck of the woods. I can remember everything about seeing Genesis at Farnborough Tech on May 29, 1972, including a stupendous version of The Return Of The Giant Hogweed. Whatever suits: taking a look at Mr Collins now.
