'Old' Harry - what a character he was. So sorry to hear of his passing. A good few years back a friend invited me along to Horsham Folk Club for one of their singers nights. Not knowing what went on at folk clubs I assumed that I was going to find people in Aran sweaters singing in Val Doonican style to guitars (not something I would have enjoyed). So, with a 'nothing ventured....' attitude I went along. I opened the door to find Harry singing All Around My Hat in his enthusiastic and characteristic way and so many people joining in with the chorus. My introduction to trad folk - thank you Harry.
