GUEST,Alan Wood Yorkshire folk clubs 60's and 70's (193* d) RE: Yorkshire folk clubs 60's and 70's 13 Jan 10


The Holy Gound at Bubwith ( near Howden ) was the Saturday night venue in the mid 70's... can't remember the actual pub's name . It was run very efficiently by Harvey and Val Lakin who booked the best.
Harvey was a staunch Yorkshireman who suffered fools and 'southerners' with equal contempt.... 'here are no homosexuals in Yorkshire... we leave all that sort of thing to them buggers down south'... he possible never realised that his rant was a superb joke!

We routinely saw The Watersons, Alex Cambell, Nic Jones, Vin Garbutt, Dave Burland and if the guest cried off at short notice then the very excellent and much missed Bill Price stepped in... happy days and nights.
