He had not been a PE but an Art student and we had got to know each other by working together on the College Social Society, organising concerts and the like.<br \/>\nJon created the promotional artwork (which was brilliant) and I booked the bands and venues. We had some success, but also one total disaster when no one and I mean no one (except the band members themselves) turned up at for a concert I had organised at The Guildhall, Winchester.  I remember one of the bands being \u201cThe Alan Bown Set\u201d https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Alan_Bown_Set who were pretty big at the time. I still have nightmares dreaming of the expected long queue of people waiting to come in but who never did.  I should make it clear that there had been no drop in the quality of Jon\u2019s promotional artwork, it was just that I had not got round to putting any of his promotional artwork (i.e., posters) up!!<br \/>\nAnyway, Jon and I have been having some great phone calls, sometimes reminiscing on college \u201cgood old times,\u201d including what happened to ex-girlfriends, but we have also had some very interesting discussions on \u201clife.\u201d In addition, it turns out that Jon\u2019s son is Richard Gamble who, as some of you may know, is the one with the vision of the amazing project- \u201cThe Eternal Wall of Prayer.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>To explain all about \u201cThe Eternal Wall of Prayer\u201d please open the ITV interview video at the start of today\u2019s blog and also this link &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdfunder.co.uk\/eternalwall\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.crowdfunder.co.uk\/eternalwall<\/a>&#8211; the latest \u201cTheophilus-The Musical\u201d extract can wait till next week.<\/p>\n<p>Quote of the week<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/R-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/R-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/R-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/R-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/R-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/R-1-624x351.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bathe Me In Your Light &#8211; featuring Lucy Stimpson- Maynard from the album &#8220;I Look Up To The Heavens&#8221; recorded and produced by John Hodginson Some weeks ago, I received a message out of the blue from an old friend, Jon Gamble, who I had not spoken to since we were at college together \u2013 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ken-shearsmiths-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2397"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2407,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397\/revisions\/2407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
