An Interview with John Mayall
Andy Farquarson, Get Rhythm, May 2001
When John Mayall bounds on stage and launches into a set with physical gusto, it's hard to believe he is 67 years old. The impression is borne out when I arrive at the south west London offices of Eagle Rock Records to interview him and spot the father of British blues whizzing along Wandsworth Plain on a silver micro-scooter.
