| Mon, 22 Dec 2003 Hi Audrey, My name is Phil Chugg and I was at Uni with Bryan in Newcastle from 1964 to 1966, when I left the art school. In 1964 we started a Blues group with Bryan called "The City Blues Jug Blowers" playing clubs like the "Manhole Club" at Wallsend, the "El Cubana" and "Blue Note" club in Sunderland. I was the piano player. I now live in Tasmania, Australia. Sunday, 4 January 2004 Hi again Audrey, Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of my time at university with Bryan. I was in the Art School with Bryan and I think we thought ourselves too 'cool' to take photos of that sort .... plus the clubs we played at were basically dark and smokey, and we weren�t famous so nobody took photos of us. Some weekends when we didn't have 'Gigs' we would take our 'beat-up' old VW Kombi over to the Lake District for a change of scenery. I have to say though that even back then Bryan was putting on the 'Mr Suave' act. I got a letter to him about 10 years ago with a tape of a female duo I was involved in recording, and he sent me a card in reply from the Rome Hilton. These days I do 'Voiceovers' for radio and TV ads, Graphic Design for print ads and teach keyboard. So even though I'm 58 I have an interesting life. If you want to see a current photo and hear my voice please visit: http://www.ozvoxaudio.com/thevoiceovertalent.htm or, to go straight to my page click on the link below. http://www.ozvoxaudio.com/phil_chugg.htm I remember my four years in Newcastle with great fondness as a very special part of my life, and imagine Bryan would as well.
