I was queuing up for an evening at my university folk club (Bradford). Nic Jones had been booked and I was really looking forward to it. I had heard a great deal about how good he was. I had brought my tape recorder with me to record the occasion. However, I was slightly nervous in case he would object. I said to my friend Tom, standing next to me, "Will Nic Jones mind?" "Why don't you ask him?" said Tom and pointed to the man standing in front of us in the queue. Yes, it was Nic, and he was very amused. And yes, he agreed.
