I'm in great accord with bill/sables. His last contribution brought a flood of great memories. Hexham Folk Club in the sixties and seventies. Blessed with a good resident band--"the Marras"--- and situated in an area which was a hotbed of talent; so much so that many of the guests confessed to feeling "in competition" with the floor singers. Small wonder when you consider the quality of the "just dropped in"s---The Ranters, as a group or as individuals, Jim Sharpe. Benny "the Whale" Graham,Stephan Sobell [aye--Stephan the instrument maker]and a host of others. We hosted Battlefield,Five-Hand Reel, Archie and all of the other Fishers [except the lassie in Oz]The Grehan Sisters Finn Macoull, Danny Kyle,The Furies, Barbara Dixon, Vin Garbut [who slew me in merely tuning his guitar]. Ach----it could take all night! Happy days-----
