WOW!! This turned up tonight on facebook, on the ANNUAL FREE CONVENTION SITE. I actually did sound for this interview with my fancy recording gear. I could not believe that it was happening to me even whilst it happened. This guy is a mega rock drummer for FREE and BAD COMPANY.

One of my drum heroes! The Al Jackson Jr. of rock. Thanks so much for this!

Fantastic hearing these stories. Simon is such lovely bloke.

[@brucereed8368]

Ah ha... Al Jackson, Jr is his idol. Makes perfect sense now. I was fortunate enough to see Free & Blind Faith in the summer of '69. Great interview - thanks for posting.

I guess I’ve been to maybe a third of the conventions this is one year I wasn’t there😢

[@Skatersi]

Did you attend the one with Andy Fraser?

[@KKTR3]

@@Skatersi I can’t find the reply, I gave you quite a detailed one in short, yes

[@Skatersi]

@@KKTR3 At least you caught that one then.
There is a DVD (including this interview with Andy) of the gig that Simon Kirke performed. Let me know if you're interested.
