I met Josh in Cambridge last month. But that’s what _he_ thinks, as I actually sent a local Jimmy Page impersonator.

“Whatever happened…  
…To Leo Trotsky?  
… He got an ice pick…  
… That made his ears burn…”

Oh my… No, you did not… a tale of alternate paths, I’m guessing?

“Something better CHANGE.”

I sat next to him in French, which since he was half French probably did my O-level result no harm. Good bass player (but not back then - that was Lucian Camp, who became a successful business consultant after playing bass in … The Wombles). Never realised John had gone punk until I saw him on TV - I was a humble surgeon by then.

Another bass player (with Christian connection) who was at the school for a while was Andy Piercy, bass/singer with _After the Fire_ and later worship leader at Holy Trinity Brompton, home of the Alpha Course.
