UFO ROCK: Cant Keep Good Men Down

In 83 I didn't or couldn't believe UFO was over. But the announcement was out and we had all heard the stories of the Greek meltdown. So what could you do. You went out and got tickets to three shows pretty much near where you lived, that's what. You also took your camera and a few albums to get signed. Cant remember exactly why but we only got to meet the guys at Bradford. But so what? Photos got lost in a freak accident involving water years ago unfortunately. Stuff signed still safe and sound though.
    So we're talking to the band. Andy Parker, Paul Chapman, Neil Carter and Paul Gray. (Paul was superb on Bass in my opinion too.) "Wheres Phil?" Tired and emotional is the answer from Neil.
    "Cant believe its all over!"
    " Its not!" Neil again, "Andy, Paul and me are going to do something. We have a singer lined up. Cant say who though."
     "But Phil, what about Phil?"
     "Don't worry about Phil. He needs a rest and he'll be back" , says Neil.
Well as most of us will know, the Carter Chapman thing didn't get too far. But Neil took his talents and some of the demos to Gary Moore. Including this which went on to be Murder In The Skies.

And we all know Phil didn't give up. Thank god. Still delivering quality albums today and soon to be working on a new one according to official sources.
