Has Joe got any voice left? He always sounded like he was singing his last song! Jules |

Cocker's one of the very worst performers i have ever seen
and alongside "Family" the most unprofessional

I saw Cocker at the Crystal Palace Garden Party in 1971 and he was sensational. Long time ago though. Saw Family several times and on all but one (when they were reported to have a back stage row with Curved Air) they too were ace. |

Freeman, or Joe? Jules I've seen him 3 times in the last 10 years and he's professional, slick and his band is awesome. He's on the wagon and his voice is as good (if you like that sort of voice) as ever. He would go down very well at Cropredy He's still a grumpy old git tho!  BTW this could apply equally to Freeman and Cocker!! Edit: except the on the wagon bit of course!!! |

I to saw Family several times and they were only "off" the once - at the end of a long day at the old Locarno in Bristol following Man (who went down a storm) and after a prolonged Vibes set-up by Poly Palmer (not long before he went).

ive mentioned this before but i saw family quite a few times and they were always good until poli left and professional drunk Tony Ashton joined, i saw them with him and they were (maybe not all) pissed as farts, ashton slumped over the hammond after about 3 songs and that was that, i never bothered myself with them after that they re did the gig (cheap but not free), i didnt go last time i saw cocker he was drunk as a skunk(belle vue kings hall, manchester early 70's after the mad dogs tour) never again |

The first three albums. |

Best gig I ever saw was Family in Bournemouth Winter Gardens - America were due to open but one of them failed to show so Family did 2.5 hrs straight - they only stopped as John Whetton had recently joined and didn't know any more of their material. Chappo is still doing post retirement gigs (played Bedford recently) and would make a good addition to Croppers.

I saw them on tour with America. They'd just had a chart single and there seemed to be loads of young girls who'd just come to hear that. |
