| Continuing along to the end of the road, we carefully cross Aldergate and what is now the Champagne Indian Restaurant was once the offices of the Tamworth Herald - home to two essential elements of the promotion and support of local music, the Musicbox column and of course Herald reporter and then Editor, Sam Holliday. No other individual can be said to have had a greater impact on the local scene in the period 1960 to 1990 than Sam. His contribution even outshines that of Vince Baker the man who brought the Beatles to the town. Sam would sit here in the Herald offices listening to the latest news from local band members or listening to their latest demo and he would support, encourage and believe in their local talent. |
