THE MILLSTONE HOTEL Wilson ST M/C "SONGCARRIERS" Folk club run by residents Terry Whelan,Steve Mayne,Dave Bishop,Pam and Alan Bishop (no relation to Dave),and Rowdy Yates.Some brilliant guests, including A.L.LLOYD,FRANKIE ARMSTRONG,TONY ROSE,ALISON POTTS nee Mc Morland.....and last but by no means least an ageing Scottish shepherd WILLY SCOTT.Great nights indeed.Political indoctrination provided by Ewan MacColl,and Peggy Seeger I don`t know what year the MSG folk club closed (Manchester Sports Guild) ,but to remind you all of a pain,I`ll just mention JENKS. If you could stay out of his way,some good guests here too.NIC JONES,MARTIN CARTHY, DICK GAUGHAN,THE TAVERNERS ,and many others.
