Loved the Bob Marshall interview . I am a huge fan of John Miles and thought Bobs stories about their time together wonderful .
A great informative podcast by Bob Marshall – thoroughly enjoyed it start to finish –
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Bob. Started listening to John Miles from Zaragon onwards and love his ‘70’s output. I had always wondered what had happened to Bob and Google never threw up anything. A wasted talent and I’m sure he would have loved to have continued as a musician but understand the way things can change.
Absolutely great to hear Bob’s story, always wondered what happened to him, certainly didn’t expect ‘couldnt be bothered’! Although I do get it. Sounds a very great band to have played in, management problems or not.
Superb podcast. Bob tells many stories a lot of fans would not have known. Bob shows a lot of love & respect for John. Made with a lot of care & selection of music makes for a great introduction for any newbies.
Real cool, I loved John Miles since hearing the Rebel album in 1976….
As a true Miles/Marshall fan you guys wrote life songs <3
The music world will miss him xoxo
Tremendous interview with Bob Marshall. Lovely to hear his stories and his true affection for his friend John, as well as other band members, which is unusual, normally they all fall out.
Sorry to hear that Bob has had a stroke.
His music will live on through mediums like this one
Bless you Bob, and bless John Miles
Delightful and revealing insight into the bond and love the new ‘fab four’ had for each other. Very happy fond memories of seeing John and co. many times brilliantly live at Newcastle city hall. What amazing talent and John such a nice man. Can’t believe he passed so young, and sorry to hear of your stroke Bob. You are all unforgettable, your music will live on forever. Kind regards, Keith.
Simply emotional. I was touched by this interview. I will always be grateful with the music created by Bob and
John. Thank you Keith. Great edition on this audio. I am preparing a podcast and a radio show speaking about
Jhhn Miles and this material is awsome. Best regards, from Argentina.
Wonder how you are , Bob ?
We met on the ward at James Cook Hospital shorty after you were admitted .
I’ve often thought about you when listening to some of your music .
It is so wonderful to read all these wonderful comments that people have made about you which echo my thoughts , completely . You are such a talented , gentle , generous man who never fails to see the positive in others .
Oh that more of us could learn the lessons of such an approach to the value of life !
First heard John in 1975, as a young kad of 13 , living in Forest OfDean area.
This was an explosive time for music, and my own musical tastes, Glam rock, and rock were a big influence.
BBC did simultanious sight and sound broadcasts on Saturday evenings, and i remember hearing John on this , and
thinking wow, juat brilliant.
Stranger in the City was played lots, and still gets a listen now.
Bob, thank you for your podcast, your very kind words for John, and your admiration and frienship stories, from back in the day.
I can tell that you were very close, to this modest, and very kind man
I am also sad to hear of musicans passing, Music takes us all back, and provides so many memories.
Thank you Bob ,for your fabulous tribute to John.
