The web is a sort of wonderland!! Sometimes you meet the most incredible person; someone that you didn't even think you should meet behind a pc and of course someone that, for several reason, you can't meet in your entire life!
Thanks to our web site we get in touch with an english gentleman called Michael Laghaney. To most of you this name didn't mean anything special, and so for us till a couple of days ago when we get a mail from him saying that he was the guy that back in the 1978 shared a flat with Andy Taylor!

Yes, with Andy Taylor. Michael in his first mail said: "I knew Andy when he was growing up here in the North East of England. He shared a flat with me and a guy called Gavi Richardson. I have some b&w pix of Andy in a band from 1978".

We asked him to share his precious pictures with all the DD fan and his answer was: "yes, sure, why I don't have to do it!". So he sent some scans from his album of memories and we decided to put all these incredible pictures here.
We want to thanks Michael for the incredible gift and we leave you with this message from him:

"The B&W pix are of a band called NEON who were from the Forest Hall suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne. These pix are from around early 1979. The faces belong to:

Short guy with moustache and a KILT!!! - ANDY TAYLOR YES THAT Andy Taylor.
Guy with glasses - Steve Lee - singer
Black Waistcoat - Dave Dury - bass
Grey Waistcoat - Fred Purves - drummer

The colour pix are
