I use to go to the Adelphi in the late sixties till I left for Yorkshire in July 69. What a fine club - I personally had great nights there with Hedy West (played her banjo), Arlo Guthrie, Alex Campbell, Mississippi Fred McDowell - he took 5 minutes to write his name in my harmonica case, JoAnne Kelly (played Harmonica with her and 25 years later just before she died), Sandy Denny (lovely), A.L. Lloyd. One night (that I missed) they had booked Doc Watson, who couldn't turn up so they had to make do with Rev Gary Davis - what a blow. Anybody know what happened to Dave Yoxall (good banjo man)? I used to go to a session with Dave in Loughor. Before Dave ran it a guy from Swansea University used to run it, guitar singer whose name I forget - anyone remember? I remember a trad singer called Brian Harries - I believe from Clydach or Pontardawe, that I believe died.
