I was a part tinme Jazzer with Clarinert and Saxophone and in the RAF
Lots of 'interesting' singing some nights in the NAAFI got me primed I think , and The Hootenanny Show on BBC TV in early '64 helped , so when I found the Jazz Club I joined had joint membership with a Folk Club , I HAD to have a look ! Hitchin's Friday Club was run by Louis Killen , and the Guest the first time I went was Redd Sullivan !
That was me hooked straight away
