Magna Carta! The first, so called, folk “super-group”. Saw them at the MSG but missed most of their second spot as we had to go for the train - didn’t fancy the 12 mile walk home. Back in those days, MC comprised Chris Simpson, Davy Johnson and Glenn ??. Davy Johnson left to go and play with Elton John and he still does. Don’t know what happened to Glenn ??.

A mate of mine once bought a Martin D28 from Chris Simpson. The back had been trashed by famous musicians scatching their names. He eventually had a ‘phone call from CT’s wife trying to buy it back but, by then, he’d had the back re-finished.

Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be though!
