WARNING: This is not the latest scoop involving shenanigans over the last 2 years in a certain street of Westminster in London! It was also great to get a couple of new members..if you come across the Carlisle photos please send them in! I would say I was always inspired by the female divas and found myself trying to belt like Whitney, Mariah and Celine Dion from a very young age. I definitely couldn’t sing anything like them but I liked to think I could!

SMILER Rod Stewart fanclub – Rod Stewart fanclub run by fans

Penny posted this photo of Rod showing the headlines in The Daily Mail and also showing his support for https://www.menopausemandate.com/ [Sign the petition at this link]. It was fantastic,” he says. “We never made Rod’s house, though. We met him at some restaurant and he started making us mudslingers. Within an hour, we were all half cut and he disappeared. Then a stretch limo turned up to take us home. There was a phone in it and I’ll never forget wee Charlie Nicholas hanging out of the sunroof calling his maw in Milton while we were driving down Sunset Boulevard.” Hope everyone is enjoying The World Cup ..Who will Rod be supporting tomorrow England or France ?😂😂 ..Richard Winton at BBC Sport Scotland remembering the 1986 World Cup this week told the story of Rod’s pre cup meet up with some of the Scotland squad. Photo Andy D’ArcyEx band member Stevie Salas who said ‘Where would I be in this world today if Rod Stewart didn’t take a chance giving a job to a kid barely in his early 20s who had ZERO experience. Man I love him so and owe him deep. It was so great to see him last night and have a few laughs ( in the photo with my brother Chris Osceola). Also great to see Jimmy Roberts, David Palmer, the RS Band and even one of my techs from the 93 Duran Duran tour’.

Sarah Dunn did a great job getting these shots from the show Photos by Sarah Dunn Photos By Sarah Dunn Photos By Sarah Dunn To be honest, I am quite mixed on this album. I must admit although it is dissapointing, it is not by any means awful and his worst.

Aww thank you so much! I haven’t played piano in quite a while and wouldn’t say I’m amazing but can play well enough to accompany myself. I used to perform a lot of solo gigs so would accompany myself then. Which of course was a great shame, as while definitely running on empty at times, I'll still take this over most of any of his numerous albums ever since. Arlene Gotay gave us another great shot and said Rod was ‘Singing and dancing at 78 as if the years hadn’t passed!’ Photo By Arlene Gotay The tapes are sold along with photocopies of Jonathan Rowlands’ 1964 appointment book, detailing his meetings with Stewart.
