Hi - I've only just discovered this thread, and found it very interesting and moving. It's wonderful that someone can be so well rememberd by so many people.
My ex-wife Toni, and myself, and a few others - Dave, Eddy (the Chapman), the Coven Band etc., started the Phoebus Awakes in Catford, back in the Dark Ages. Barry Walker and Jacqu were around, of course, at the same time in South London, and obviousy knew Bert Lloyd. If anyone knows more about the Bert Lloyd/Walker connection I'd love to hear from you. I saw at the top of this thread a reference to the Walkers' influence on Bert's The Idiot?
What was that about? I am three quarters of the way through a Bert Lloyd biography and am just getting to the folk revival of the 60s and would welcome any infomation on the above, also any Bert anecdotes or memories of his gigs, con=versations, stories etc.

Wishing you all that's best, Dave Arthur
