Around 1970
I’ve come across this photo from around 1970. Liz is playing her original dulcimer, the one that inspired me to build one myself, and I am playing the Portuguese guitarra that inspired my first cittern.
Liz had long hair, I had hair.
Taken in a Harrogate folk club, the guitar shown leaning against the wall is the fearfully battered Harmony Sovereign belonging to Steve Morrison. Steve was a great innovative guitarist, well ahead of his time. He died many years ago now.
