Bridget Danby married Steve Danby in August August 1976. At the time she would have been going to Dingles she would have been Bridget Hogg, which name may ring more bells with the old Dingles regulars.

I was chatting with Chris Foster about Dingles when he did his gig at Walthamstow last year. The original club at the Rising Sun was started by John Kirkpatrick with my brother Gerry Sheils and Roger Holt (JK mentions it in the booklet to Shirley Collins CD boxset "Within Sound"). I think Chris and I agreed that Gerry had moved away by the time he was involved. I remember good times at the old Rising Sun venue. I think "The North Circular Accidental Band" started there.

I have slight memories of a club at The Starting Gate Wood Green. Is it the same club that was later nearby at Bounds Green, I think the pub was The Railway Tavern. I was regular there for a short time in 1975 when I lived nearby at Ally Pally? After the Folk club we would go to a dodgy private club with a "dining" licence so as long as you paid 25p for a sandwich you could drink after hours on a Sunday!
