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

And I've still got no money in the summer.
Except of course for scoring.....
Happy Birthday Roy.

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"
