Stickingto folky drinkers, I can remember Maggie Barry coming to the folk club at Hull. Her fee was probably less than we spent on Guinness for her. She also bought some of her own. And she drank pint bottles which were available in those days. In other words I suspect the stories about her are true.

Alex Campbell, who once supped a bottle of whiskey with Barry Dransfield on a train from (I think it was London to Leeds). Except Barry didn´t drink any of it!!

Tony Capstick - who once legend has it - threw up on stage during a live broadcast by Radio Sheffield and looking down on it all said.... " I don´t remember eating carrots".
