NO!!!!
are we now going to have another week of arguing over the good / bad
alternative nightlife in edinburgh???
i really hope not; can we have something else?


YES!!!

We can discuss Bert Jansch....
"An even bigger impact on Nick as a teenager was made by Bert
Jansch.....Jansch's striking gypsy good looks and apparently effortless
fluency on the guitar made a mark on all those who heard his records or saw
him play in the folk clubs of the mid-sixties. Neil Young cited jansch as
being as much of an influence on his guitar-playing as Jimi Hendrix."
There, I hope that has answered a question from a week or two ago.
Admittedly my own question, but there you are.
John and Beverly Martin also feature quite heavily in the Nick Drake story,
more as collaborators and buddies than as producers and plagiarists, so far
at least. Fairport Convention too.

Did anybody see Johnny Marr at the Manchester B&S concerts?
