"I'm Peter Green"
Cliff Jones, MOJO, September 1996
OUTSIDE IT'S RAINING, THE KIND OF slick, greasy rain you only get in cities. The atmosphere is oppressive. Inside the Brewer's Inn, Wandsworth – a one-time haunt of Peter Green back in the days when he frequented the DSS building opposite – it's warm and relaxed. Green slips in unnoticed, following in the wake of his manager, Stuart Taylor, who scopes the place out Secret Service-style before settling Green into a chair and disappearing to the bar.
