Mickey Finn In St.Petersburg



You see, it's possible to get in touch with your fave-band-of-all-ages even living in bloody Russia. Well, getting to Mickey was rather hard. Barry Newby kindly agreed to let me meet the band, but unfortunatly he hasn't come to SPb, so i had to look for other ways to get backstage. Couple days of phoning and meeting with russian gig organizers (lots of lie + some determination ;) gave their results - so in the certain daye at the certain place me and my friend were waiting for the T.REX arrival in their premises. There were five bands arranged for the concert (T.REX, Slade, Glitter Band, Christie and Mungo Jerry), and of coarse T.REX were latest to arrive. So when Mickey Finn entered the room i was already shakin with nerve fever. I could only say "Mickey Finn.." in a dismayed voice. Mickey said "Hi" and with "may I?" he took the cigarette i was smoking.

Here ends my exciting story of meeting Mickey Finn. We talked a lot and i've asked hundreds of questions, but dwarf 'snot a Reporter, and i haven't written down all the things we were talking about (it was just impossible by circumstances), so if you want some REAL info on this gig you should go to the Marybaby's Mickey Finn page . Marybaby is a charming girl from the Kazachstan, i met her on the concert, she's a fan of Smokie and T.REX (cool combination, and comfortable, hehe - as long as Alan Silson plays in T.REX. hey Mary! i was glad to meet you, never thought then we'll both be Tillers and friends soon ;) As for Samm - well, my impressions are too personal to share them ;) I've spent a superfunk time backstage and in the club with Mickey and T.REX , and all the guys from the other bands, i've got acquainted to Marc's Les Paul and Mickey's tambourine, seen Rob Benson turning-on-performing and, ha, i've got a funny thru-the-coat massage from the Glitter Boy Paul. Hope my second meeting with Mickey Finn's T.REX will be as great as the first was ;o)
