Full-page profile of **Ric Grech** and his father **Mykola Grech** at the time of the Blind Faith Hyde Park debut. Mykola (Ukrainian-born, Leicester-based) speaks about his son’s choice of career, the £6,000 fees and $20,000 American earnings, the family’s Leicester history, and Ric’s musical background (mandolin from age three, early violin studies, friends expecting him to become a concert violinist). The piece is affectionate if rueful — the headline captures the father’s view that his son is ‘in the wrong job’.

Key biographical detail: Ric went abroad at 10 to his grandmother in Tahiti, spent a year on a French fishing boat, had intermittent schooling, ‘wasn’t one of the best school leavers’ — all bending the family’s expectations. The three-column profile includes two photographs: Mykola Grech holding an LP featuring his son; a second of Ric on stage with Blind Faith. Photo caption: *’Mr Mykola Grech with LP featuring his son Ric. He likes some of the music but not the life his son has chosen.’*
