I went fishing in Arran once when I was 14. It was nothing like that. Then again, I was only seasick, which didn't require hospital attendance. In a strange twist of fate, I would later be in a band with a drummer who went on to play with Fish. This tour of Poland was done on the cheap in the back of a van. During the tour, Davey Paton out of Pilot and Kate Bush got a call asking him to play bass at Madison Square Gardens with Elton John. He told Fish his gran was ill and he had to go home. Mr. Paton out of Pilot, Kate Bush and Elton John once came down to see my band and said if we ever needed a bass player, to give him a call, because it looked like a lot of fun. We were doing 70s glam rock and here was a guy who was there at the time asking to play. Annoyingly, our bassist never took a night off.
