Open mic night at The Spice of Life in Soho, the big pub just off Charing Cross Rd, sort of behind where Les Miserables was for years. Every other person walking through the basement bar door seemed to have a guitar case slung over their shoulder. All guys thinking about it. I saw two singer/guitarists - Alex (pictured) - and Timothy Thomason who was folky and sang a song about being a fisherman. He seemed a bit despondent, I think because his guitar was out of tune - "Ropey", he said.
