I remember borrowing the first Nic Jones album from Chiswick Library,a very long time ago ... more than anything else that got me into Folk; saw him live now and then (not enough) and even now I never tire of listening to him, on vinyl or CD. I think we all cherish the memories we have of seeing Nic perform, and the pleasure of meeting him. He doesn't just belong to us old-timers either, as evidenced by the admiration he evokes in the coming generation of singers and musicians. They've never seen him, never will, yet his recorded output is fresh enough to enthrall them too.
