here's a gig I would love to have seen..... "And we did a bit of busking in Winchester, next to the Cathedral. We discovered that we had an unpaid milk bill: £15, which seemed like a fortune. It was, 'Who's got £15?' 'Nobody.' 'Let's go and busk for it.' All of us piled off, and we played in the Cathedral close; the whole band! We raised about £30 in an hour - made a donation to the Cathedral restoration fund, paid the milk bill, and got a couple of rounds at the pub out of it." This from Richard Thompson talking about Liege and Lief in this interview John Harris hears the story of Liege & Lief
