Ian "Agnes" Miles, of Riff Raff and Angabart. One of the top characters on the RotN scene. Nutty on occasions, but with a devastating guitar style, Ian's a star!
Bill Nelson couldn't possibly be left out of the RotN Hall of Fame. This "Wakey" lad is never far from the thoughts of the older RotN fans for his early pub gigs to being seen on Top of the Pops. His Leeds Grand Theatre performance recording Live in the Air Age in 1977 is legendary.
