“I suppose it all began in the back seat with The Beatles. Then it was Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Jonny Cash. My mum was a big Roy Orbison fan and I think John Denver and The Everly Brothers came via her too. By the time I made it into the front seat I was soaking up everything I could lay my ears on – I was into Bob Dylan, The Band and Leonard Cohen with a passion by then as well as the folk revival scene – which pretty much ruined my teenage years at school as it isn’t easy being the only 13 year old in your class with a Joan Baez tape in your bag.
