Not sure, possibly

I generally play Travis picking or, as I call it, Travis hybrid... a mix of Travis alternate thumb bass with strum and palm muting.

Many... Dublin Castle in Camden, East Dulwich Tavern, Croydon Folk & Blues Festival, The Ship in Wardour St, The Oval Tavern in Croydon... so many others... a 60th birthday in Guildford...

Obviously His Bobness- too many great songs... Others would (deep breath) be; The Byrds, both Elvisess, Aretha, Gram P... punk... the list goes on...

I learned to play guitar young, then learned to sing when I got more confident. I was brought up in a musical family so it's always been part of what I am. About 20 years ago I stepped in front of a mic with my guitar and haven't stopped. The Dylan thing came about because no-one else appeared to be doing it... at the time!

Like them all, though if I had to choose, like most musicians, I'd go for a Festival. But love pubs, music venues and club halls also.

20-30 minutes set up and sound check.

Outside is good, power and cover, like a gazebo and flooring if wet of course.

From my set list, though I'd prefer my own order.

Well, I once supported a guy who had another gig as a singer and guitarist for a well known tribute act band. He encouraged me to press on with the Dylan act; he said he'd never come across one in his career. Others seem to commend me on the fact that I don't need a lyric sheet, not that there's anything wrong with singing read lyrics. It's really a matter of phrasing with Dylan, so it helps to know (some of) the words.
