Mick Ralphs: In his own words

A rare interview from the Bad Company & Mott The Hoople star, who went from Jimmy Cliff's backing band in Kidderminster, to the village halls of Herefordshire, and then toured the world.

He tells Andrew Marston how he got in to blues music, meeting Paul Rodgers, working with David Bowie, and how he got little money from record sales - he made his living largely from touring his bands' incredible tracks.
