In the sixties he began mixing with the likes of Archie Fisher, Roy Guest and Bert Jansch, and was getting better all the time as a singing guitarist with a penchant for the blues. He always acknowledged the immense influence of Len Partridge on his music at this time.

His first solo performance was at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe of 1962. [read more...]
