Thinking on, it was when I was doing music O Level many moons ago that our school music department bought a set of Ian Campbell Folk Group score books. That, together with my big brother's venture into folk at the same time and coming home with Ewan McColl, A L Lloyd and, yes, Ian Campbell albums got me interested in a music which led to great friendships, a way of life almost and lots of joy over the last 40 years.

Ian Campbell was one of the unknowing architects of that, and for that I am eternally grateful.
