For a long time in the late 70s-early 80s, Sidmouth seemed incomplete without the ground-breaking Morris Workshops led by Tubby and Roy Dommett. He also took part in the tunearounds at the Balfour Inn. I remember him growling at the way I played my tune of the month 'Childgrove' on concertina - all the notes were there, but not necessarily in the right order! However, it established a friendship between myself, Matt Green and Jeff Dando from Bampton who were 'officially' leading the session - not necessarily because of that!
