Dave Higham Yorkshire folk clubs 60's and 70's (193* d) RE: Yorkshire folk clubs 60's and 70's 12 Jan 10


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.
