Subject: RE: Dulcimer player Roger Nicholson
I used to meet on Saturday mornings at Roger Nicholson's home in
Paddington. Peter Knight of Steeleye used to join us and a couple
of others whose names I've forgotten.
I rang the Folk Cellar at CSH after Jack & Margaret King and before
Kevin Shiels.
I also sang each Sunday at the Hampstead Folk Club and would run the
club when the residents were on holiday.
I also ran the BBC's Folk club when residen Peter Charlton was on holiday.
I used to organise the instrumental workshops on a Tuesday evening at CSH and teach a beginners' class, after which I ran a Songswop to get newcomers used to singing in public. Peter Knight and Terry Gould would drop in to try out their new arrangements to songs.
Anyone remember me??? Still alive and playing Hummelchen bagpipes and the 5-string banjo at age 72!!!
