In reply to Al Evans:
Story goes...
He was on tour with Fleetwood Mac in the States. Popped out to the shop and never came back for Circa 30 years.
Or so Mick Fleetwood said in one of those Fleetwood Mac life story programmes.
There is a Peter Green Way in Barrow in Furness. I think I recall someone saying he was from this neck of the woods.
