I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.

You've got to separate the singer and the songs.

I went back to Belfast and started a club, the Maritime. No one had thought about doing a blues club, so I was the first.

The wild night is calling.

I learnt from Armstrong on the early recordings that you never sang a song the same way twice.

My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.

Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature and beauty, come along with me and take it all in. Come here my love.
