What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[BillF]

The last recording he made before he moved to Europe.

Wasn't it to somewhere crazy like Halifax, West Yorks that he ended up living? Astonishing !

Yes, he lived with a girlfriend in Halifax (definitely not crazy). Easy to pop across the Pennines for a solo gig in a small room in Manchester University Students' Union. He was nice and chatty, signing albums and recalling recording dates.
