GUEST,Dave Arthur Why does 'folk' attract so many teachers (110* d) RE: Chatting up Toni Arthur! 02 Mar 07


I just happened to be idly reading through various Mudcat threads when I found a couple of notes on Toni and myself under the Why Does Folk Attract So many Teachers thread, and was interested to see that Scrump had chatted her up 'behind my back' over thirty years ago, along, I might add, with several other 60s/70s folkies. I don't know if Toni has seen this thread but I'm sure she'd be flattered to be favourably remembered by Scrump. I well remember the time that she did a clog-dance on a pub table in a Lancashire folk club in the late 60s wearing a mini skirt and received three encores (although I suspect it was my melodeon playing they really wanted to hear :)) And few duos were more popular than us when it came to performing in Wormwood Scrubs and Maidstone prisons, during the same fashion period. They were innocent fun days and life in the UK was much more pleasant than of late. I now spend more on petrol getting to one Yorkshire gig from Kent than Toni and I earned for a week's Northern tour in the 60s/70s. Aah! Nostalgia, who said it's not what it was?
