Subject: RE: Folk Clubs, Greater Manchester 1960-99
Rule of York was great. Dave Wynn and I walked it from Swinton Church and back because of the fog! Another night we were stood outside chatting after the folk club with Ted, resplendent in his full length Arab cape and flat cap when a policeman approached us.
"Scuse me chaps" he sez. "We have had reports of cars being broken into by a man with a beard"
"We've all got beards you daft bugger" replied Ted. "Did they say anything about capes?"
Them were the days. My first introduction to Timothy Taylor's RamTam as well. I now live 5 miles from the brewery :-)
Do you remember a chap called Chris, Raggy? Possibly Whiley? Used to do floorspots.
