What about the Grey Cock Folk Club? And the Cannock and Lichfield clubs run by a colleague at W& T Avery in Walsall. Then there was the Bush in Pelsall run by Baz Yates - Oh I remember the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra one night - that was before CHris Newman joined them as part of a trio. And Wheatsheaf in Walsall - saw Martyn Wyndham-Reed sing a few sheep-shearing songs (about 60% of 'em as I remember).

And what about Dave Sampsom's attempt at a Folk Club in Erdington in the 70's - PHLO again when Dave was annoying the artistes so the three de-bagged him on stage. The best laugh of the night.

Of course I am only 29 now..............................
