I went to see him a couple of years ago at the Stables in Milton Keynes - he was very good but a bit political - Iraq war and all - he had a very good young guitarist playing with him

He has sung with Pink Floyd (have a cigar - roger waters got jealous) and Led Zep named a song after him (page guilt after nicking his riffs)

He was arrested in the 70's for violent behavior, whilst protesting for peace

And Alan the insurance man from Barton Le Clay has seen him 4,932 times including on a shoppping trip to the Arndale in Luton
