Hi Noreen
Terry was an admirer of Ewan and, along with Harry Boardman, Tom Gillfellon and Dave Hillary, ran his club on the Singers Club lines.
I lived in Liverpool at the time and would hitch up the East Lancashire Road every Friday to attend - I invariably slept on Terry's couch and stayed till Sunday night.
When Ewan was asked to run classes in the early sixties he gathered together numbers of people from all over the country to discus the idea of setting up some form of a self-help group.
Terry was invited to that meeting and considered moving to London to join the early Critics Group, but was unable to commit himself.
We recorded Terry talking about those days.
He ran a few workshops, which petered out, so when I finally moved to Manchester, I took up the idea and ran weekly meetings in my flat in Chorlton -Cum-Hardy which lasted till I finally moved to London - Ewan and Peggy supplied my with loads of ideas and material for those meetings.
Terry introduced me to Ewan and Peggy after a concert at the MSG.
I like telling the story of our first meeting; we were standing outside the MSG late at night, when a Jag pulled up at the pavement and a slim young man got out and headed for the nightclub next door
My mate, Barry Taylor said "That's Georgie Best", to which Peggyu said, "who's Georgie Best?"
On being informed that he was the best footballer in the world (by Barry) she sprinted over to him and demanded his autograph, sheepishly informing us that "it's for my son Calum!!"
Sorry I don't recognise your name - we were extremely proud and pleased to participate in those Ewan weekends and met some wonderful people.
