My thanks to Alan Lovell of The Swinging Blue Jeans for forwarding this letter from Alan Jay.
Alan Jay writes:-
I haven’t played guitars for many years but here is a picture of me Back in the Day in the early 1960s with my Watkins Rapier.
Later on I went solo as a comic but recently did some guest spots at my Club, The Edgeford, Matlock, Derbys. I wish I’d never sold the Watkins Rapier…
Best wishes
Alan Jay.
