The photograph was taken in a pub toilet in Birmingham in 1988 whilst I was working for the Coventry Evening Telegraph music pages called 'street talk'. Myself and Chris Wilson the journalist went to Birmingham from Coventry to cover the concert, I remember very little about the gig but the photograph was taken in the toilets because it was pitch black every where else in the Pub.

This is a school picture of me and my brother from about 1984. Just visible is my Black Sabbath T-shirt and his AC/DC one. Though I was only 9 at the time I can clearly remember asking to be bought the T-shirts while we were on holiday in Blackpool, or was that Bridlington? At that time I don't think either of us particularly owned or listened to our own music and I'm pretty sure we didn't know who Sabbath or AC/DC were so the only explanation I have for wanting those shirts was because they looked cool! Mine had a picture of the grim reaper on the front and his a man being electrocuted. 26 years later though and I can honestly say I love Sabbath and can't think of a cooler picture of me as a kid...well there is that one of us in Scarborough standing with Darth Vader.

I cannot recall how I obtained Ozzy's home address (too many years n' beers ago), but I obviously did. Adding a self addressed envelope may of helped - I knew he was on the dole at the time see (Ho ho...). I can still recall though seeing it lying on the floor and thinking 'Nooooooo!, surely not'!!
