The club that Malcolm Fox ran at The Three Cranes in Sheffield was called The Barley Mow. We used to have a membership card in which you could fill in the names of the guests booked for the coming weeks and I still have mine from 1969. The list reads as follows: The Couriers Jean Redpath Martin Whyndam-Reed Mick Waterson Dave Burland Christie Moore The Marston Rattlers Willie Scott Tony Capstick (a resident) Dave & Toni Arthur Packie Byrne The Humblebums (Billy Connoly & Gerry Rafferty) Nick Jones Ian Campbell Group Hedy West Steve Benbow The Broadside McColl & Seeger Diz Dizley Cyril Tawney The Strawbs Roy & Val Bailey The Yetties & Archie Fisher(!!) Christie Moore & John Doonan Allan Taylor Nigel Denver M. Carthy & D. Swarbrick Tony Rose. Then everyone went to Sidmouth and I didn't fill it in for the rest of the year. But we also saw The Dransfields The Johnstons (including Paul Brady) Etc., etc. We sometimes went up to the Highcliffe to see people like Ralph McTell Jake Thackray Mr Fox Mr Gladstones Bag Wizz Jones, etc. Those were the days.
