Subject: RE: Folk Clubs, Greater Manchester 1960-99
Very remiss of me to forget (must be the age) our terrific fiddler, Martin Dutton who used to make the trek over the Pennines from his wonderful old house in Yorkshire to play with us as often as possible. I was first introduced to folk clubs via the one at Kersal Rugby Club which then moved to the Wellgreen in Hale which really suited me as we lived round the corner in Briony Avenue - very strong memories of Tony & Arthur & Pete Wilmot - T&A used to sing Pete Coe's song "The Wizard of Alderley Edge" which is now very much part of our live shows.
