Thanks for the memories folks. I have looked for when I may have seen him but cannot find any details at all. I am pretty sure it would have been the mid 60s and it was a summer fair at Cromwell Road Secondary School, Swinton, during a summer fete there. I was a mid teen and did not know much about him but my Mum raved about him and I remember being very impressed by the music he played. maybe I can blame him for my subsequent interest in folk :-D
