NB
Andrew Ridgley forgot to put my credit on "Fantastic", which
must go down as one of the worst bits of music business bad luck ever.
So he and George paid for me to go on holiday with them to Ibiza.
At 21 and just prior to Wham! and the album's huge success this seemed
like a good deal, in particular as Andrew also sold me his yellow
Ford Capri cheap. We all stayed at Pike's Hotel in Ibiza where the
'Club Tropicana' video was filmed, in which if you look very very
closely you can see me! Any disbelievers go and ask Andrew or George
direct, or for that matter Steve Brown or any of the staff who worked
at Maison Rouge Studios.
