At the show being advertised in the photo fans broke into backstage and tore off his trousers. He escaped out the toilet window ! He visited us while on tour around that time and stayed the night, fans thought he was at the local hotel so he got a quiet night without the rest of his entourage. I am pretty sure that gig advertised is January 1959.

My wife's Mum's maiden name was Devlin.  Escaping out of windows was a thing in Ireland when the Gardai came around long after closing time.

Ha..thats funny..whats interesting is people have remarked on that poster before..Stu..Ive got these images in a book..guy who released it found me online..Ian Chapman from Canterbury Uni..he's a shiter in terms..owns a Triumph Herald....so I submitted the Mr Drumm Archive..that we saved and restored. I did it for free ...I did actually talk with Ian at length on the phone..and the eventual published item is quite cool.
