There was also an agency called OGLESBY AND WINDER, That employed a number of folk singers was Bob Davenport one of them?
I do not think it has run out of steam, I get s much work as I want, I have a pension,
It is more of a question of it has changed, there are far less folk clubs booking guests and many more performers. there are less available venues owing to the change of pub tenancies to managed chains

One of the things that is needed imo is for organisers to organise their own events clubs, one day festivals etc, as people did in the early days of the revival,
if EFDSS had similiar funding to CCE it might or might not help, they might be able to run festivals or one festival like they did in the early days of Sidmouth ,Keele, loughborough Whitby etc
