Jon,Bob CLark & myself set up the Folk Club @ The Ferrands Arms Bingley way back,& we ran it for about 10 years I think-it was a long time ago & I am 81 now.We called it Captain Ferrands Folk Club.Jon was magic on stage & the more he drank the better he performed & had the audience eating out of his hand.He was quite a character too.I had a party at the brewery in Kirkstall where I worked & lived & of course Jon & Marsh were there & helped themselves to a few bottles from the store when they left ,Jon later told me.Dave Anderson the Scotsman was also there-where is he now?Great memories of Strutt & Knowles & Sobel,great days & parties @ Bobs place.Jon was on the way to great things-I remember Euan McCall &Peggy Seeger,Tim Hart & Maddy Prior,Jeremy Taylor& Dave Burland,The Bolton Bullfrog @ the Ferrands & Jim Wishart(where is he now?) We actually ran a Folk Festival in Jons name for a couple of years & I have the presentation cup @ home. Still remember Jon quite vividly.
