Hahahaha... You've captured 'alfer' (A.K.A Brian Hayter) perfectly, who posts 'elsewhere' (Dunceland)! Golden rule of a troll, though, don't give out your postcode: https://m.facebook.com/ThreeUK/posts/805042922843996
Yes, this guy also contributes as 'whatsnext', on pfm. Remember folks, that's B27 6BX, for all those he's pissed off who'd like to pop down and pay him a visit. Stick it into your sat-nav.
Listen out for that knock on your door, Brian. Sometime soon, but you won't know when............

“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Yes, I also really enjoyed conversation with Chris - a fount of knowledge on musicians - guitarists and drummers alike - when he asked about the Hiromi track I played and I told him who the other members of the trio were he knew everything about them, who they had played with in the past, the exact instruments they played - impressive stuff!
By the way, if you liked Hiromi, the Trio Project Live in Marciac DVD is a cracker. There are a couple of good clips on her website here - my favourite is Move - these three musicians so obviously love playing together - http://www.hiromiuehara.com/en/video/ - she's curently on tour - one date only in the UK in London - grrr!
