Thread Name: Folklore: Blackpool/Fylde band ??? Boots 1960s/70s
Subject: Folklore: Blackpool/Fylde band ??? Boots 1960s/70s
I posted this question in the "little known 1960s folksingers" thread but it's got buried in there, so I thought I'd start a separate one, to ask about a group I remember vaguely from the late 1960s or early 1970s.
They were (I think) a trio (but could have been a duo?) and I believe they were based in the Fylde area (Blackpool possibly) (Lancs, England). Their name was (I think) "??? Boots" where "???" is something I can't remember. I've been racking my brain to remember - I don't think it was "Brown Boots" but maybe it was after all? ISTR one guy played a mandolin, and probably another played guitar, but my memory is all a bit vague.
They moved to London in about 1970 or '71 IIRC, but I never heard of them afterwards so I guess they broke up or something?
Sorry it's all very vague, and not much info to go on, but does anyone remember a duo or trio answering this (admittedly incomplete) description?
