We were conspiring about something or other when Joe spotted Joan Armatrading, dining alone, a few tables away.

Joan was kind, and grateful, even though we interrupted her lunch. I have never forgotten how she was happy to spend some time talking with two rather odd looking blokes that she didn't know, and who just loomed up to her table...”
