'His album 'Folk Blues and beyond' is the reason I became a musician.' - Phil B.

And Phil, hearing your playing was the start of my life long interest and love of folk/roots music, which I think I've passed on to my oldest daughter (flute, piano and Fairport fan), son (studying music production, loves Radiohead but with a sneaking regard for Martin Simpson) and youngest daughter (loves to sing 'Dark Island').

RIP Davey, but your influence will endure...
