If i'm not mistaken did not Olly Beak partner Fred Barker on 'Five O'clock Club'? Now am i sad or what?

As for the Spinners (again)they tried to take 'folk music' out of the confines of clubs/pubs (or festivals) and take it to a wider audience (what they called 'the family of man'). That may seem a bit naive now and their presentation may have appeared at times, to some, to be a bit too straight or prissy but as Ralph Mctell once said 'You Well Meaning Brought Me Here'.
