Nice to know there are some people that remember Isobel and Joby. Growing up I remember we saw Joby in various TV series. In 1978 my father got a harmonium from Joby. We transported it by Kombi Van to Edinburgh where we were staying. He didn’t keep it though as I think he decided it was going to be too expensive to transport back to New Zealand. Roger Giles of Devonport Folk Club reminded me his family came over from Devizes, by van and camped in their driveway over night. My Uncle came down from Scotland and he described the occasion as being like family reunion. My parents sang at Isobel’s folk club. Did they ever go to the Crown Inn in Groombridge as I seem to remember visiting a place that had a village green?
