A photo album I've been building up on Facebook might be of interest to some people here. It's a way of digitising some of the mountains of memorabilia I've acquired over the years in the fRoots archive, so I've made a start here on fliers, posters, magazines etc from the '50s, '60s and early '70s (a lot donated by the late Eric Winter). 90 items in there so far.

It's here. Anybody registered on Facebook can see it.

There's also a separate little skiffle era pics section here

Oh what treasures! I remember a rioutous afternoon wandering around Soho with the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra and other mad souls, prior to a Cousins gig, eating a Chinese meal and drinking coffee.

You also have the Fairfield Hall concert poster for Gary Davis - was this before the one I saw (identical personnel) at the Free Trades Hall, Manchester?

And - lo and behold - my old mate and sometime duettist Pete Conway at the Springfield (now the Open House) in Brighton. Haven't seen Pete in years - I believe he went off to South Africa to build roads.

More please!
