Subject: RE: Folk Clubs, Greater Manchester 1960-99
I do remember,vaguely, the clubs and the performers, it was a long time ago, before swimming was ever invented,remember that from mike harding.
If the Liverpool Fishermen were on I would make a point of being there first so as to get the middle seat at the front and watch them perform The Green Eyed Yellow Idol. Being a regular at the Golden Lion on a Sunday night,having won several raffle ticket draws the previous week,this night my tickets kept coming out of the hat,in the end they wouldn't give me the final prize which was an LP.I told them in no uncertain terms what I thought of them.
Can I use this thread to try and locate two very good friends of mine Andy and Kate Walker?I grew up with Andy from about 5 yr old and have lost contact? Think they called themselves Innesfree,were performing the greater manchester clubs in the early 70's,Andy singing and playing guitar,banjo,harp and bagpipes and Kate playing fiddle. If anyone could give me a lead it would be very much appreciated.
