Well David, Ian Rilen seemed to think he was a founding member of Rose Tattoo & Murray Engleheart seems to agree. In the book ” Blood sweat & beers” on page 131 Ian Rilen said in an interview ” I got a phone call from Sab (Sebastion Chase) & he said “Got this band,Rose Tattoo & want you to be the bass player” The original rehearsals were underneath Rilens house in Lewisham. The famous photo from Vogue magazine has Rilen with one arm around Pete Wells & one around Angry. I also remember(somehow, it was a big night) being at the Lifesaver on the last night it was open to the public & Tatts played with the original lineup of Pete Wells, Angry, Ian Rilen, Digger Royal & Mick Cocks.

mmmm Curiouse about the comment “RIP Bear”. He’s not dead. I work with him in QLD .Well assuming you mean Greg “Bear” Horrocks, long time tatts road crew.
Just thought I would clarify that.

I’m just an average guitarist, nothing special, and a simple boofhead off the street. But it sure was a pleasure standing on stage next to Angry and cranking it out. I’m honoured to have been asked to be a part of it, and what a great experience for a younger bloke.

Best wishes all!
