Mike Heron: A Bird Of A Different Feather
Vivien Goldman, Sounds, 15 January 1977
MIKE HERON is talking. Compact, sturdy crofter stock (I haven't actually studied a family tree, but that's the way he looks), elegantly bony face, shock of shoulder-length black hair, devastating grin. Rakish gypsy good looks. He always was the heart-throb of the Incredible String Band.
