Retired headteacher Tony Heald wants to teach Barnsley people a lesson - about folk music.

He is trying to unearth the folk singers of the future and is holding an audtion night on february 5 at the Blah Bar on Market hill when the main guest is international singer and musician Dave Burland.

Tony said: "I want to find new musicians and singers in "The Folk Style". Not only am I hoping to recapture the audience of the seventies and eighties, but also a new, young audience and talent".

Tony founded the first folk club at the Alhambra pub in 1962 which eventually moved to The King George, The Wheatsheaf and then the Civic Hall.
