Herga Kitty

You're hitting all the nostalgia buttons. Doc Rowe must have been one of the very first singers I ever heard in the first folk club I ever visited, the Prince Regent in Paignton in 1965.
I remember him singing "The Butcher and the Chambermaid" though on that occasion he didn't justify the reputation he had gained for forgetting a song half way through. Doc lived in Swan Street, Torquay and, even then, was known for his record collection. Rumour had it that he had taped all the Radio Ballads, sealed them in tins and buried them in order to preserve them for posterity.
A couple of years later Doc brought the creators of the Radio Ballads, Charles Parker and Philip Donnellan, down to Torbay and I still have a vivid impression of Philip Donnellan describing his first meeting with Sam Larner.

I'm letting this post get way off track. Suggest we pursue any further memories of the 60s off post. Address in header.
