If Pearse is still around, please say a big, big hello to him from Rod, who recalls Pearse being prepared to work with him to put on a folk concert at the Royal Albert Hall (must have been late 1960s). Didn't happen as the only dates Rod could get were not good days of the week and he wouldn't go for anything less than the best, never mind involve anyone else in anything that he couldn't be confident about. It was also due to Pearse that we were able to get the room at the Kings Head, Fulham Broadway at such short notice when we had to move the club. A very important part of Hammersmith Folk Club's history was Pearse.
