Discovery of Joni Mitchell
The journey of discovering Joni Mitchell's music began for Chris during a family trip to Trafalgar Square in 1970, where he recalls hearing 'Big Yellow Taxi' for the first time. Despite being unaware that it was Joni's song, this moment left a lasting impression on him. Chris later connected more deeply with her music when he saw her perform ‘In France, They Kiss on Main Street’ on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975, which struck him as surprisingly unique for its time.
