'66 - '68. '69 - 72 ish
Club at Hampstead where I asked Shirley Collins to sing a cheerful song.

The Troub of course. Johnny Silvo borrowed my guitar and broke a string.

Mike Absolem had a club in the cellar of a church in Battersea.
Heard Alex Campbell there.
Islington, Dave and Tony Arthur
HammersmithBroadway where I heard Ralph McTell, but that was later.

Clapton Uni. Tim Hart and Maddy Prior.

Fulham where I showed slides of Vigeland Park in Oslo, whilst I sang Sidney Carter's Country girl. He was there and said I'd sung the Ralph Harris version. And so I had. Jeremy Tailor was the guest.
Was asked, "But is it Folk?"
Noel Murphy was everywhere. and with Shaggis.

Radio two. Folk on Two live at some theater by Charring cross with Wally Wyton, Jim Lloyd etc.

The memories are fading. I'm getting on a bit better book me before it's too late.
