He was there in Leeds when I first became interested in the songs in 1964-5, at the Grove.
In October 2003, after, fervent negotiations he played our club in St Albans.
He arrived at the station at 3.00, checked into his hotel room , asked where the Cross keys was, and was rthere by 4.00
At 8.00pm He received a rapturous ovation as he walked! into the club room in Samuel Ryders old house.
At 11.00 he announced his closing song.
At midnight he concluded his encores
At 2.00 we retired from the bar to bed.
Now he has retired, thank you for the legacy.
Our thoughts are now with Rosemary
