IRONMONGER Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Well I was born in Parker’s Road, Broomhill which backed onto Turner’s Lane. In Turner’s Lane were a lot of businesses mainly vehicle related. My Dad’s family had a haulage business housed in a garage opposite a yard of a garage,filling station. At this garage worked a mechanic Calle Joe Elliot who, many years later, would become the father of Def Leppard lead Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 We were doing a quiz in The Princess Royal many years ago and one of the questions was a list of, at the time, unknown band members. We didn't have a clue until an old lady friend of ours leant over and whispered, it's Def Leppard, I'm their mum's cleaner and they rehearse in her garage.

reg1 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I was in a music shop liquidation auction just after they made it in America. I outbid them for a guitar amplifier which I still own. I remember them buying all sorts of gear from that auction including a fender fretless bass which has always stuck in my memories. When I came to pick up my amplifier Joe Elliot was sat on it with another band member who I cannot recall the name we had a chat then went our separate ways.

rohsgran Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 My husband who used to do leather work as a hobby made a guitar strap with a leopard engraved on it for one of the group just before they became famous. His girl friend used to work for my husband and asked him to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTAW Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) I once made a “wedding cake” for Rick Allen and put a pair of gold drums sticks on for decor. I also sat next to joe Elliott’s mum and dad when they played don valley stadium. It was fab, but my lasting memory of it, was Joe’s mum saying how proud she was of Joe but she wished he would “get his hair cut” ! 😂😂😂😂 that must be going on for 27 years ago as I’m sure I was pregnant with my eldest and he’s 27 in October 🙈 .
