Ive mentioned this before, but is worth mentioning again on this thread.

Steve & Muff Winwood were friends at the time through the social club we went to and the fact they lived 50 yards up the road and we played football together.

They used to come to the club with washboard and tea chest and sing skiffle music.

At the trad jazz club that my mate ran, Spenecr Davis (who wasn't known to us at that time, asked if he could sing in the interval. He sang Lonnie Donegan songs.

After that they formed Spencer Davis Group.

Steve Winward does John Barleycorn on one of his LP's.

Low and behold in 2007 Tim van Eyken wins the best traditional track with Barleycorn.

What goes around comes around
