Johnny was 'the voice' in my early involvement at folk clubs in the Farnborough area. My key memory of him was his association with Jim Mageean. The memory plays tricks, but I can recall one session at the first Southwark folk festival in about 1976 with he and Jim holding court. It was so good, I missed out on Ashley Hutchings and Shirley Collins elsewhere in the building. Oh, and the beer tent at the Berkshire Midsummer Festival - phenomenal!
