Chinese White Bicycles at The Mucky Duck

Joe Boyd read extracts from his book White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960's and Robyn Hitchcock played tunes from the era by the Incredible String Band, Syd Barret, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan.

After the show, Hitchcock played for about an hour unamplified outside on the patio. I was sitting just behind him, close enough to touch him. Every so often he would ask what people wanted to hear. I would pause for about two seconds, to give other people a chance, then I would pipe up. At my request he played Chinese Bones, Queen of Eyes, Visions of Johanna. He also played the Doors' Crystal Ship and a number of other tunes of his own and other people's. And then after that he just sat down, lit up a cigarette, and chatted with members of the crowd. To say this was a special night for me would be a bit of an understatement.
