Memories, memories!

I also haunted Traynors back in the early 60s. My sister worked for Don Carloss, the big bloke that used to run it, and I found myself working on the door at the grand age of 17. That place started my interest in folk music. I collected a copy of Bullockies, Bushwackers and Booze, and also have a copy of Brian Mooney's album. David Lumsden's banjo playing sparked my interest in the instrument. One night the Seekers wandered in...

I took a lot of photos by candle light of Martyn, Brian and many others, using high speed B&W film - I still have those photos somewhere...

Regards
Chris
