I saw Davy a few times. I've got to admit - I never wanted to do anything he did. I liked Rock Me Baby - I bought two albums of him posthumously - intrigued by what everyone said I missed.

I loved his image - he was always photographed playing a weird unidentifiable chord in Beat Instrumental and all those 1960's adverts. I remember he said his favourite singer was Mary Wells.

When I first got to see him - couldn't work him out at all. Weird time signatures. The choice of nylon strung guitar. the strange things he said in interviews.

I acknowledge the fault is with me. Carthy , Wizz Jones - people I revere talk reverentially of Davy Graham. Latterly I heard he lived in Hinkley for a while as a kid - just outside of Leicester. I thought maybe the privacy of his vision was something to do with being foreign looking in a very insular village.
