anyone remember him, i'm going back 15-20 years or so, he used to always sit outside M&S, with an old acoustic, and do loads of old blues songs., think he had a really crap little amp, but it sounded ace.
anyone know what happened to him? i used to see him get the bus to pitsmoor / burngreave area.

Dunno if it was the same guy, but I knew a guy called Keith Iron (Irons?) who jammed with the Uncalled 4 Blues Band back in the early 80s

I remember him, he was great and a really friendly bloke. I took some pics of him so I'll have a dig for them.
