GUEST,Andy H The Adelphi folk club,Swansea (52* d) RE: The Adelphi folk club,Swansea 13 Oct 22


I saw many of the performers mentioned above in the late sixties at the Adelphi but none affected me more than Alexis Korner. I have a vivid memory of being about three feet in front of him as he played. He was wearing wraparound yellow lshades and those big sideboards and that gravelly voice gave him an aura live that was irresistable. I was probably 16 at the time. The Adelphi introduced so many of us (underage drinkers) to the best of British acoustic blues. You could hardly move in Swansea at the time for people learning to play slide and harmonica. And Phil Andrews, who stood in on harp with so many of the guests at the Adelphi was one of the best. Great memories
