This is a 'combination thread' answer to include the 'what got you hooked' thread.
In the mid '60s we had regular 'folk nights' Agricultural College with singer-songwriters and people who sang Dylan etc. So when I went home I found a local Folk Club and this strange looking fellow with pony tail walked on stage and with no introduction launched into 'The Fox Jumped Over the Parson's Gate'.I was gobsmacked and hooked; Pete Bellamy has a lot to answer for.
