Cyril played at the Windward Folk Club in St Albans about Nov 2002 The room was full. He arrived by train in the afternoon and esconced himself in the Cross Keys from 4.00 p.m. until he entered the club room to warm applause at 8.00 p.m. He broke a string during his first song and never replaced it. When he finished it was pointed out that he had not sung some of his better known songs cyril said 'Oh F##k' then continued his encore went on for 45 minutes, ending at 11.55 and featured his new Christmas song about the shepherd who went for a pee and missed the angel he then encored in the bar until 3.0 a.m. George papavgeris struggled to keep up !' A video was made and given to Rosemary we also held an evening after he passed on at the Duke of marlborough where eery song was a C T song headlined by the late at the Comfort Hotel Johnny Collins I remember Tony promoting him on the Unicorn tour and remarking how he rarely heard a song repeated. Iwas at the Haddenham gig but had come across Cyril in Leeds at the Grove in 1964/5
