QUADROPHENIA

​DEL AND 1978 ON QUADROPHENIA.
Having worked after STAR WARS in 1976, I went into a job working for 2 years in the Music Biz for Record Mirror, Sounds and Music week!
In 1978 I worked on two films, one being THE SHINING and the other QUADROPHENIA. 
Now I can't really remember which one came first ?
But I did and was close to THE WHO management where I became great friends with Mike Shaw RIP. Mike was a roady for THE WHO, buy had a road accident and was in a Wheelchair. I loved this man and would go and see him once a week for many years in Carnaby Street.
I found myself on this film for 6 weeks as as I was told by Frank Roddam the director " Derek you are part of Jimmy's gang/ friends and was promised a credit and some dialogue. This did not happen and even many years later when I was asked by Frank Roddam to audition for his film THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE. Well I did the audition at Paramount House in Wardour Street and awaited. 
Sad that Frank Roddam did this a lot to Actors, even some I can't mention now. ( it will be in my book next year)
I met  Liz D'Esterre and  Jeff Dexter and others on Quadrophenia and loved working on it!
