My sister was in your age-group -- I was younger, and going out with a member of the Dansaks, hanging around music venues and local groups. I recall you coming to a sit-in at Brum University, where I was a student - hot from the barricades of Paris 1968 as rumour had it... Tariq Ali was on the platform at the sit in and I got in bother with the Uni over the sit - in... Had no news of what happened to you after that. Ive been living abroad, ion Israel, various African countries, Far East and Oceania, and emded up in the School of African and Asian Studies at University of Sussex... since then, years in Communityh Law, in London and South EastLaw Centres... recently retired.. My connection with Accy - my twin brother still lives fairly locally, and my sister owns a house there rented to an elderly relative .. my sister died new Year 2013/4 ad one of our last conversations was wondering wht happened to you!She was also a ig fan of yours. Funny how so many folk from Accy have pitche dup abroad 0 you only have to look at this message board.// I am a return-nik, but ot the south!!!.

A mate of Ernie Lee? Yes. A beatnik? Never
