I regard myself as being fortunate enough to have met Joe Meek. In 1963 I was with a rock band in Bradford, W. Yorks. I had written a simple song called 'The One I love". The drummer of the band's mother had been a singer in the fifties and knew Joe. She got us an introduction to see him and we drove down to London from Bradford. We climbed the stairs at 304 Holloway Road and were immediately greeted by Joe Meek. I was quite in awe of the situation, meeting Joe Meek and being in the place where Telestar was recorded. I had just left school when the record came out and had just joined my first band who played in the Boy and Barrel in Bradford Centre where 'Room At The Top' had been filmed a year or two earlier.I remember Joe Meek as an extremely pleasant man who made us feel quite at home. He listened to the demo and said he didn't think it was quite good enough to make the grade which is a great shame because I've had to spend the rest of my life bleedin' working.
