Robert Fripp is local to me. He had some involvement with a local whole food shop in a nearby town. The shop is still there and has been trading for over 30 years.

As a teenager, he took guitar lessons with Mrs. Kathleen Gartell in Corfe Mullen. She was my music teacher, and also related to me through my paternal grandfather we discovered. I went to see her in the early 80’s as I was taking up playing my cornet again as the brass section with a London rock band. She pulled out the magazine in which he had mentioned her in a interview to show me. She was so chuffed to be honoured by him.
