He used to play in Steeleye Span. but he is an astonishing guitarist - one of a handful who had made me rethink my approach to guitar playing. I owe him big time. he gave a seminar, one year at Fylde Folk Festival and I just realised what a narrow minded git I was. He was just so open minded and intelligent. Ludicrously underused by the music business - a great talent and a great teacher |
