GUEST,Bob Plews 2009 Obit: Matt Armour (Great Knight Folk Club) (123* d) RE: Obit: Matt Armour (Great kNight Folk Club)Feb 2009 16 Feb 09


Matt and I go back to the early 70s when I first moved to Northamptonshire and you could go to a folk club every night of the week without travelling more than 20 miles or so from Daventry - halcyon days! Matt was then running the Fox and Hounds club at Whittlebury and soon to front the "folk" face of the (in those days pioneering) WAP - the Wavendon Allmusic Plan founded by John Dankworth and Cleo Laine in the converted former stables of their house. Matt was a tireless organiser, a fine songwriter with a truly colossal repertoire and a mighty voice and presence, as well as a great friend to many local musicians booking us regularly at all his venues in our various incarnations! I also spent the most awesome Hogmonays of my life in Matt's company..as far as I can remember. Our paths diverged a few years ago but Matt Armour leaves a massive gap in the folk scene that is hard to see being filled easily. Love and good wishes to Jane. Bob
