I was a telephone engineer in Liverpool City Centre. Most mornings myself and John Chalton would help Silkie (a lovely girl) and Brian Fergie clean up in the Green Moose Cafe. We should have been mending telephones but the Green Moose was far more interesting. John was probably the finest slide/blues guitar player and singer you could find anywhere in the world. He was and possibly still is totally brilliant. Brian Fergie also was beyond compare as a 5 string banjo player.
