I remember doing a couple of Folk Clubs around the Leeds Manchester area and a guy used to go from club to club but always slept on the premises of the club overnight or in the bar.He looked like an ex soldier who had survived a grenade attack,but his singing was absolutely fantastic.A great character.
I was telling Graham today about a guy who used to go regularly to the Folk Clubs in the Horsham area.His spot was up the front near the stage and on chorus songs his voice could be heard above the evenings guest.The trouble with him was he sang so out of tune it had an effect on the Guest singers who tried to get his voice in pitch with theirs and never managed it and finished up singing out of tune themselves.It was good fun just to look at the different facial expressions of agony when he joined in.I very much doubt if he is alive now as he was constantly in Hospital, but he loved his Folk Music.
Oh by the way a guy called Phil Tree sends his regards Graham he wanted your address, he said he had a present for you.He did have a peculiar look in his eye when he left me.It might be for your cold he said something about coughing.
