A mate of mine, who unfortunately died a few years back, used to bang on about PG years ago. Every time they've mentioned this subject I expected to hear his name. No dice! I assumed my pal was mistaken.

i remember when i worked in a gaybar in town & gambaccini came in with a very young Limahl 

i mean theres no harm in that but i gathered he liked the young 'uns back then

 

 

Operation Showbizz.

 

Still...if the cap fits..

a new case comes to light

 

Good one  

 

look how theyve blanked out emus face

I remember rumours about this from years ago and for many years since. He was very supportive of Pete Townshend when he was arrested for viewing certain types of site.  And it was reinforced to me when he made comments about the Saville affair by describing it as happening in 'different times'. 

TBF to Pete Townshend he was "researching for a book" he was writing.

Yep!  Did the book ever get written Vids? 

Providing the allegations are investigated in a proper manner - no, I don't think so. Looking at the Operation Yewtree and related investigations as a whole: if we were talking about a lot of "small" alleged offences, and none of them subsequently stuck in court, then there might be a case to call "witch hunt", but in fact there have been some very serious allegations, and there have been convictions already (e.g. Stuart Hall). I don't think you can have a "statute of limitations" - whether official or unofficial - on these sort of offences.

 

As for Gambaccini: it's not a nice thing to say, but like Garage Joe I've also been waiting for his name to come up in this context for a while now...

Precisely Eugene.

And me too with PG, as with Rolf Harris....was only a matter of time

Errr nope,  almost as if there never was a book in the first place.

Thank you, I have stolen this and will tweet it.

Apropos Townshend's book! It was published in time for last Christmas. My son bought me it.
Whilst it was certainly better than the unofficial biographies I found it rather dark in places.
His parents were professional musicians and away a lot. Pete found himself being looked after by one shady relation in particular and catalogues a series of sexual abuse and names names. I believe one reviewer called it a self-pitying book. I thought it a better read than Keef, but am looking forward to Robert Planet and Morrisey this time around.

That's interesting Joe! I've bought my other half Harry Redknapp's book this year for the lolzz

I've bought my Mum that, and the Ferguson one too. She loves her football!

I might get one of my brothers the Ferguson one. My husband doesn't even like football, I like it more than him, he's an egg chaser! You can always count on Harry to tell a story so I'll read it too.

 

 

I agree with most about PG, it wasn't a shock to me either. 

Oh Dear! Now Roy Harper too!

There seems to be no end to it GJ  

Was every celeb/star of those times 'at it'? 

I've never heard of him ... don't think I'll be buying his back catalogue now
