Thank you Nicholas. Yes, I knew the uni folk club; I did floor spots there occasionally over three years. I only started going to the Topic in my Final year and also went to the Fox and Goose.

I don't remember your brother at all. I do vaguely remember seeing Roger Sutcliffe. He turned up fairly recently at the Cutty Wren on a singaround night and did a couple of short spots. He was booked for a guest night later this month but has cancelled for some reason.

It's a shame that so many of the university folk clubs have folded; they were where I started out and were good for beginners.
