Draft Version (Part 2)
Part One of THE STONE ROSES (Julie Johnson - Sir John Franklin - Hughie Gadson and Charlie ) was written in October 2011 and now in December 2012 - I have at long last finished both my Autobiography and my book on THE STONE ROSES.
In Part One (November 2011) I reveal how IAN BROWN (and me) performed a boozed-up version of `bubbles` in a East End Pub - The Sir John Franklin - performing on the very same stage where Basildon Babe and sexy stunner JULIE JOHNSON aka Julie Taylor Johnson - once strutted her stuff and shed her clothes.
Also recall how Ian and Reni performed rowdy versions of Cockney sing-a-longs in The Cockney Pride pub with East End Legend FRANKIE `Boy` FLAME (and me).
And reveal how EMF Manager Hughie Gadson came close to signing the boys and how JAM guitarist Bruce Foxton almost produced them.
A few of my memories appear in the brilliant Jon Robb book THE STONE ROSES / Reunion Edition
published by Random House.
My picture with THE STONE ROSES and Bruce Foxton is on page 253.
