Guest, you've just stirred a very deep memory; the folk club at the Cross Keys in Uppermill has been thriving for a very long time. I made my first ever public appearance as a guitar player there in 1972, at the age of 17. It was a floor spot, as a trio; Pete Troughton and I on guitars and very shaky vocals, and an even younger Maartin Allcock on bass. I think this was Maart's first public performance too. We were rubbish.
