Wednesday 21 March, 2018 - walking along George Street in Old Town Hastings, and I saw this man. I asked him if he minded me taking his photograph and putting it on my website as I like taking photographs of street musicians.

I thought his playing sounded a bit Davey Graham-ish and I asked him if he knew "Angie", which he then played for me. It turned out I was talking to Alan King who used to manage Bert Jansch. He said that Davey Graham was “as mad as a box of frogs” because of “too many drugs back in the day” - which I think we all knew anyway.
