The Night Dylan Came
Once East Village King and host of New York's longest running open mic night, Lach is back to square one in Scotland. From July 2013.
Lach was the King of Manhattan's East Village and host of the longest running open mic night in New York.
He now lives in Scotland and finds himself back at square one, playing in a dive bar on the wrong side of Edinburgh. His night, held in various venues around New York, was called the Antihoot.
He played host to Suzanne Vega, Jeff Buckley and many others, he discovered and nurtured lots of talent - including Beck, Regina Spektor and the Moldy Peaches - but nobody discovered him.
Many people came to see him in New York and, in this episode, Lach remembers the night Bob Dylan arrived.
