After a day given over to working on his photo archive, and to business meetings, in the evening Bill and Suzanne headed off to a restaurant in Marble Arch to join Kitty and Mark Knopfler for dinner.

Bill says that Noel Gallagher of Oasis was seated nearby, and that later in the evening Ronnie Wood and his girlfriend arrive and chatted with Bill, before heading to their table. Bill says that dinner with Mark and Kitty was great, and Noel even dropped by to chat briefly with Bill about the Faces gig at the Royal Albert Hall on October 25.

Bill spent both Thursday and Friday working on his photo archive, having several business meetings. On Saturday, after checking his email, Bill busied himself getting ready to be picked up by Terry at lunch to head to the Rhythm Kings rehearsal.

At rehearsal, Broady, Geraint, Frank and Beverley turned up to rehearse, with the band members going through the Gary US Bonds songs for the Rhythm Kings tour in the UK. Bill says the Rhythm Kings also ran through a Little Walter song that Frank will perform, and a new song by Geraint.

After an afternoon of rehearsing, Bill headed back home in time to watch the World Cup qualifying live football match between the Republic Of Ireland and Italy, which Bill says was a good game that ended 2-2.
