Sam is a nutter, but what a nutter! His sheer enthusiasm for all things traditional has led him to conceive and edit a superb magazine (Folk Leads to Song & Custom) and his joy of folk song in general means that his long held antipathy to all things (gulp)contemorary (in Sam's case that means anything written before about 1394)is slowly abating and it's been weeks since he's heckled any guitarrists!. Recently he's welcomed a whole bunch of excellent young country blues performers to the Grove, with the result that Friday nights are flourishing. Singers' nights 1st & 3rd of the month, guests in between.
