A musician who had a much cherished piece of equipment stolen from him has finally been reunited with it - almost thirty years later.
Ray 'Taff' Williams has played with or supported countless big name artists over the years, including Frank Zappa, Black Sabbath, David Essex and Bonnie Tyler.
And while supporting Dire Straits in 1979, as part of the Ian Gomm band, he had a custom amplifier made for him by Randall Smith, the company owner of Mesa Boogie, in Petaluma, San Francisco, pulling a few strings with contacts in the industry to skip a long waiting list.
