Daisy worked in the Folk Shop at C#H when I was there, though I think that was after Doug's time. He also played (or was getting into) uilleann pipes as I recall. I had to send out review copies of books for ED&S and he was interested in the Willie Clancy one. What's he up to these days, anybody know?

We also had Dave Tulloch working in the library at one stage. His wife made me a harp case which is still going strong (I'm sure I've just written this recently: was it in a private email, possibly?). And one of The Exiles (3 Horseshoes Hampstead, residents there at that time IIRC) taught guitar in the school I was working in, or perhaps I inherited his students, can't quite recall. I had a little after-school class of them. His wife was a teacher there too.

Hi Dave The Drum, thanks for posting -

I never knew Steve Heap played in the NCACB: he was organising rather than gigging by the time I knew him. The Folk Shop used to let us play the records, and I listened to The Valley Folk LP a lot, which he was in. Gotta stop rambling down memory lane and catch some zzz's... it's after midnight... my brain cell is getting weary as you can no doubt tell from this...
