Roy Harper turned 70 on 12th June - one of the great songwriters of the English language - a near contemporary of Bob Dylan.

He wrote one of the most memorable lines in a song ever!!!

" And half the blasted idiots are stuck in Yugoslavia
with hardly a Dinar
and looking no cleaner
than a Chinese wrestlers jock-strap
cooked in chip-fat on a greasy day"
