I booked Cliff to play at Orpington Friday Folk 3,or 4 times before he moved. In those days we were in the bar of the Liberal Club, and had to contend with chat,the till, the fruit machine etc. I can't remember if we had our p.a. or not. Cliff would mark off a stage area under the window that no non-performer was allowed to cross,
except for the floor singers who always got to jam with him at the end of the evening. I never paid much money in those days, basically what went in the collection. I never heard him complain.
