Fantastic memories

Ian Price : “Fantastic memories”

My lasting John Foxx memory, was meeting him for the first time in 1983. This was after the show at the Warwick Arts Centre. I was the only person who staying after the show. I was a bit star struck clutching my bag of rare imported 7” records. John offered me a beer and kindly signed all my records. I remember we had a long chat mostly about synths. I'd just purchase my first mono synth. It was late when everything was packed away and the van was ready to go. As I arrived by bus, I was offered a lift in their, what seemed to be, plush people carrier. I seem to remember Jo Dworniak (bass player) and Zeus B. Held (keyboards) and a few other band members were also in the van. I also seem to remember John had forgotten his scarf just as we were about to leave. My mind may be playing tricks as it was a fair few years ago, but I'm sure the music being played on the cassette player was Ultravox Monument live!!!

The whole experience was fantastic. I woke the next day still in a bit of a daze sitting in the office. Did I really meet John Foxx, get his autograph, had a very long chat, and got a lift with them.

Fantastic memories...
