Not sure if this is widely known to forum users but it's a nice biography of Nic Jones followed by a fairly in-depth study of his playing style by Michael Raven, from the perspective of another fine guitarist. I found it a great read, along with Nic's return to the stage and the recent TV documentary.

Nice interview, thanks for posting! I've only briefly scanned over it so far, but I'm pleased to see the 'guitar style' section, with info on tunings Now if only someone could tell me how he plays Courting is a Pleasure...

Excellent article there maninashed - as are many of the ones on Living Tradition, thanks for flagging this one up One small correction to the descriptive text - although Nic does indeed still have his old Oberon as mentioned, by the time of his accident he was using a Falstaff, and this was the one that was severely damaged in the crash. The Falstaff was later rebuilt by Roger Bucknall, and Nic still has this guitar as well. Keith
