I saw Mark Newman in Leicester around 1964, when I was on placement from college.

To supplement my grant, I worked as an evening barman in the old Victoria pub on London Road, next to the YMCA - probably long gone now - where they had music several evenings a week in the upstairs bar.

Mark played an electric guitar in a blues band in those days - a good guitarist. Mexican moustache, black leather jacket... very '60s!
