Came across JF's music by total accident in '68 while browsing in Chris Wellard's record shop in SE London, the Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death was playing on the shop's PA, I'd never heard anything like it and had the temerity to ask if is was playing at the right speed! Not a well received question so I bought the album to cover my embarassment and have been a fan ever since.

Sadly never saw him play live, think he toured the UK in the late '90's and I don't think he was at his best at that time.

His music is always celebrated in our house at Christmas with thse wonderful seasonal albums he recorded.
