No. After my time, I think. I rather dropped out of the folk scene when I married Valerie in 1959, & she was working for the mature scholarship which brought us to Cambridge in 1963. I had previously studied at Cambridge early-50s. I didn't really get back into folk till I started my freelance reviewing career in October 1969, as Cambridge/East Anglia Theatre Critic for The Guardian & Folk record & book critic for the TES, which I ran for years in tandem with teaching; which was my day job till 1985. I would come out of school at 4 pm, go into the nearest phnoe booth, & shazzam! out came Supercritic! But after 1969 I got back into the Cambridge Folk Clubs, would review concerts at CSH &c, festivals at Camb, Norwich London CSH & City Univ &c. Even ran my own folk club for 3 years, in Sawston, a Cambs village where I was head of English at the Village College.

Where did I get all that bloody energy from? All I can do to cross the road to where my car's parked these days!.
