Memory:David Philpott

This fan memory was written by David Philpott.

At the age of 17 I perchance had a conversation with a newly acquired friend at work who was asking me of my musical tastes, to which I replied Gentle Giant never dreaming that he had even heard of the band let alone what he was about to tell me.

It transpires that his brother in law was a roadie with the band and had been for several years. My mate then said that if I gave him one of my record sleeves he would endeavour to get me the band's autographs. This I promptly did.

To cut a long story short it took me nearly two years to get the cover back, and to my delight it was signed by the whole band and is still my most treasured possession all these years later. (I am now 45.)
