Jeremy Taylor ?
All those mentioned are always entertaining.
As an 'act' the Old and new rope string bands did it most polished of all.
stan Accrington is very witty
Once there was a Stan Arnold
Vin Garbutt has the right balance of song and patter as could Anthony John Clarke if he put his mind to it !!!
H W and the P come highly recommended,
Sis and Les are an acquired taste whereby you need to be very knowledgeable of the originals
Alex cand Diz and Noel all deserve a mention
Gary and Vera along with Wriggley seldom ventured south, unfortunately
1812 were one of my favourites
Shep Woolley's career has taken a lift since playing the Windward Club and Brimmo can still woo you with his timing.
All in all , not that many, but great fun and its what the folk scene needs.
Did i notice villan creep in here
