Bo (as in Diddley) Some are time-specific. In the 1971-75 period, John McLaughlin was known as Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, and was referred to by many band members (at least in MO Mk 2) – then and since – as […]

Intriguingly, I came across a 1970 ‘Sounds’ interview with Dicky Thompo yesterday in which the writer – and seemingly Dicky – referred to the band throughout as ‘Fairports’. The Incredible String Band are usually […]

Absolutely. For people coming to Bert from Drake, RL is the one to begin with. The great missing Holy Grail of Bert at the BBC only turned up after the Bert BBC 8CD set had been released. It’s Bert on Bob […]

It was very, very humbling to see the doc for the first time (a week before broadcast) – a very unusual situation to be in, I imagine. We all just bumble through life, really – and if you try and be nice to people […]
