Katie Derham had Henry Wood's Bust in her Cab.

What or whom, [musically, and keep it clean] has travelled in your car or
cab.??

I can only think of the original mss of Delius's Violin Concerto which I took up to Great Yarmouth to the Augener reserve library. My boss was driving

I was surprised to see Delius still signed as 'Fritz', and spent some time trying to read the inky mess.

Any good stories on similar topics?

Tricky thread title, not one for James Naughtie.

Yes, I was afraid of that sort of comment

Well the Radio Times headline is ' I HAD THAT HENRY WOOD IN THE BACK OF MY CAB.'

NO comment from me,

On topic sadly I have had nothing remotely interesting in my car or any of the few cabs I have used.

Rumpole will probably name drop until 23.37.....

Well, not wanting to bore anyone, as this should really be told on the jazz board - except nobody reads my stuff there (ahh! AHHH!) - but the first was an alto saxophone player called Trevor Watts, Yorkshire-born but since the late 70s Hastings-based, whom I had just interviewed in a record producer's flat for a recording for publicity release on DVD. Unfortunately Trev and I both got so distracted at the "seriousness" of what we'd have preferred to be a lighthearted conversation of reminiscences, that the interview failed to get off the ground; but we had a good laugh in the car afterwards!

The other guy was the now sadly no more Lol Coxhill, known widely as "the bald saxophonist", and a good friend of John Peel, on whose Dandelion label Lol released his first album in 1972 - a double LP entitled "Ear of the Beholder". Lol was given to the furthest outreaches of free experimentation, playing with The Damned at one time, though he liked to play old standards too, and was upset that the female piano trio offering sedate sub-Bill Evans-type "cocktail jazz" in the other half of the gig hadn't invited him onstage. It was too late for a train back to his flat in Holborn so I put him up for the night, and we polished off half a bottle of Remy Martin. The next morning, when he emerged apparently unscathed, the first thing he uttered was, "Where the hell am I?"

Perhaps I should extend it to 'travelled in a lift with' Mary. Didn't you meet a composer [Britten ?] in a lift ?
