Richard Thompson of Fairport Convention
"I used to do that all the time. You miss the last bus, your'e basically screwed, if you're a 16 year-old in London in the pre-car era. I did that countless times: walk home to north London from the Marquee club or Ronnie Scott's. It's a kind of exhilarating thing to do, although its exhausting.."
Richard Thompson on "Walking the Long Miles Home", 2006.
