..actually he was my mum's uncle - so that must make him my great uncle ???

He was a self taught multi instrumentalist..
apparently I'm supposed to take after him a bit;
even down to the allergies and 'bowel discomfort'...

My mother told me grandad was an ex-army band's man
and might occasionally accompany him down the pub on clarinet.

Now that's the kind of working class family night out entertainment
I'd like to hear tapes of, or see primitive lo-tech home movies..

But wsa it remotely 'folk' ???
