Subject: RE: Hammersmith Folk Club Recollections
The last time I saw Don was at one of the last nights at Hammersmith (At the Kings Head, Fulham Broadway). Firstly there was the challenge of helping up the narrow stairs to the room - a real test of the fitness of the physical fitness of the organisers. Secondly, the decision by the pub landlord to have a rock band in the bar downstairs. Don refused to be put off by the thump=thump of the bass rising through the floor, and took it upon himself to drown the rock-band out with what was probably the most rafters raising rendition ever of down and out. I was only fortunate enough to see him 2 or 3 times.
