Andy Mitchell comes to the workshop to pick up his new Atkin OM Custom guitar. Andy and Alister had been friends for some years, and at this time Andy had started writing and performing full time, Andy is a key figure in the Atkin story.
Andy introduced Chrysalis stable mate Boo Hewerdine to Atkin Guitars. This chance meeting would go on to connect Atkin up with some of the most popular musicians in England, while Andy went on to become the lead singer of the Yardbirds.
