So Keith Emerson used my Hammond L100 on Sunday night headlining at the "High Voltage Festival" in London's Victoria Park. He split a key with his dagger and caused a little cabinet damage when he tipped it over on it's side. Otherwise it's fine. I was given the job of setting it all up for him just half an hour before showtime - that was nerve-wracking!
I also got to hang out with him in rehearsals before the gig and also went to a private party for family and friends - there were just 20 of us - in a hotel roof-top-garden in Soho the day after..!
All in all a cracking weekend....;c)
Cheers,
TOM
