‘Sooty’ Broughton RIP
March 11, 2013 by Dave Allen 2 Comments

‘Sooty’ Broughton has died. The name may not be familiar to everyone on the Blog but for years ‘Sooty’ kept the Railway Folk Club alive, not just in the old pub but in the Railway Social Club, the Festing, the Alma Arms etc.

He’d been poorly for a while but he was a bearded bear of a man who sang with the Shantymen and worked very hard to sustain folk music as a live experience in Pompey. On a personal note, he was a key figure in getting Reet Petite & Gone started in the early 1990s giving us floor spots in the really early days, then headline gigs there.

Sooty Broughton (who for a long time ran the Railway Folk Club Portsmouth)wishes to update people on his whereabouts. I am posting this on his behalf as he presently has no internet access. Sooty transferred from hospital last week to a temporary address until early December when he should have a new permanent address. Interested parties wishing to know his new address and/or pass on good wishes please PM me here or use my regular email address if you have it. Annie
