... Terry: my recollection is that Sandy called up a young man called Terry to sing at Eel Pie Island. He sang a couple of Irish songs. I said 'hi' to him at the end, & mentioned Peter Kennedy's monthly folk afternoons at Cecil Sharp House, the next one of which the following Sunday I was due to chair. The young man called Terry came in a bit after the start, & I said "One of the best young Irish singers I have herd for good while has just come in. His name is Terry & I met him recently at Eel Pie Island. How about a song. Terry?", and he sang "Moriar-i-ty". At the end, I remember, a young woman called Jennie Leathers, who had earlier sung the McPeakes' Jug Of Punch, went over to chat him up.

I think that Terry might well have been you. Any bells rung?
