I first encountered the Valley Folk in the Beach Store at Sidmouth festival in the late 1960s round about the time that All Bells in Paradise was issued, and Steve Heap was the first person I heard singing Rawtenstall Annual Fair. In addition to running Towersey festival, founded by his one-time father-in-law, Dennis Manners, Steve also ran Sidmouth festival for quite a few years, until 2004. John Dickinson also moved to Oxfordshire (Marsh Gibbon) but is sadly no longer with us.
