I saw BJ Cole playing with Terry Reid last night at the Half Moon in Puntey.
BJ was awesome but Terry Reid blew my mind.. I hadn't heard of him before, the man has a huge soulful voice, and plays the guitar like it's a bass and a guitar combined (i think he has it tuned down or something).

..anyhow, it was superb. about the best gig I've seen. apparently he's off to Scotland now, so anyone up there, check it out if you get the chance

Is the Terry Reid that Jimmy Page originally wanted as the singer for his new band, Led Zeppelin?

yep. I didn't know that, but good ol' wikipedia came up trumps
