I guess it was Les Barker, Richard, but the first time I met Dave at Beckenham Folk Club he was introduced as The Tito Gobbi of the Balls Pond Road by John Barker of The Crayfolk.Slatts was there that night so he may know more,that was in January 1970! The rest,as they say, is history, maybe we can write a book? Between us there must be hundreds of stories.Next time you visit Dave ask him to tell you about the old lady in Beckenham who prodded him with her walking stick!
