Sam Kelly's brilliant anecdotes on Richard Dunning's recent Blues On The Radio podcast - and in particular re: the late great Gary Moore - reminded us all of Gary's gig at Charlotte Street Blues in London on 6th April 2010. It was a last minute gig at an intimate setting and not only were the WRC lucky to get tickets but we also managed to get right up and close to the great man himself. Gary opened with 'Oh Pretty Woman' and immediately a few of us down the front made the most of our advantageous position by taking a few pics. Unfortunately, Mr. Moore took exception to this after 'OPW' in warning us - "You c**t's taking pictures better have a licence!" At this point - to a man - and with discretion being the better part of valour - we all decided to put our cameras away. Anyway one guy kept his video running - hence our awesome 'VOTD' - and if you look closely towards the left of the stage you can spot Wrinkly and AJ at the front! And finally - one of the pics AJ did manage to take - adorned our official WRC t-shirt as a tribute to Gary when he tragically died the following year.
