Ello denizens of progarchives! 

I work at a pub down in Greenwich, London and today I had a very interesting encounter with a customer, an encounter I can not shake.

He seemed to be on psychadelics from the way he swaggered and swayed about, a suspicion his peculiar and plentiful of slurrings added onto. He had the apperance of a worn and torn rocker of age with a weary moustache and long stripy hair, black but fading into grey. 

I hadn't started work yet, so I sat down for a chat and we wound up sharing a few drinks.
He told me he and his band had just returned from a tour in Europe and that he had wound up in the bar because his bandmates were still sleeping at the hotel.

He ignored my request of learning the name of the band, shrugging it off with "It's not important." He let me know he plays guitar as well as writing lyrics.
We talked about music and he highly spoke of Gasolin and his friendship with them and particularly Kim Larsen. He also said he had lived in Dragør, Denmark for quite some time. 

 After a few more pints of Guiness, he left as he "had to go the studio". When leaving, he forgot his hat, which upon reminding him of, was gifted upon me with a peace sign and "No worries, you're cool man.".  
The hat is a Hard Rock Cafe one, "est. 1971" according to the logo, much unlike the current one.

More to the point, I'm here to kindly ask of you with help in identifying this man. He wouldn't say more of his name than Justin. I hope the above have helped, as I can't forget about him and his interesting presence.

Kind regards,
Mårten Gås

No idea, the first Justin name to spring to mind is Justin Hayward though.

The fact that this guy's only post is this makes it even MORE mysterious.

What we have here is a typical example of a "One Post Wonder".
