Can I report that I did a night with Martin Clarke (of the Leeds Band) at the Musical Traditions Club in London last Friday. I would also like to report that Bob Davenport and his daughter Catherine turned up, and both were in excellent form. Accompanied by Roger Digby on concertina Bob paid homage to the great Davy Stewart with a fine version of 'Bogie's Bonnie Belle'. Great to see and hear again one of the major influences on traditional music over the past 50 plus years. Personally, I owe Bob a great musical debt and I told him so....
