Early '80s it was Worksop on the Sunday, Barnsley on the Monday and Kiveton on the Tuesday. happy days. I was fortunate enough to catch up with Wellsie not long before he passed away. He came to a 'do Mitch and Marylin had in Worksop. I have good memories of catching the train from Worksop, missing the last one home and walking down the canal c/w guitar in the middle of the night, trying to memorise a tune Ernie Sissons had played or a song Dave Oldroyd had sung. Whilst a traditional club, they always forgave me for reciting Monty Python poems...... I won't make it sadly, as Tuesdays are generally busy elsewhere but I do intend to pop over and meet old friends again, and although I am now fifty miles away, it isn't too far really.. Ian.
