In normal circumstances I would obviously not support the Daily Mail in any way. Today I bought it in order to let people here see what had appeared in a highly unusual source where it may well be read by many thousands who might otherwise never have heard about Nic Jones.

Thus I would prefer to view the contribution of 45p I have made reluctantly to Associated Newspapers rather as a very small one towards publicising the work of a musician who has been long deprived of income because of the limited availability of his work.
