Nice to read this. Nice to see Brian Moss mentioned.

Little bit of history to set right (or record): Brian it was who started Bury Folk Club. Him and another guy called James, as i remember. I was along pretty soon after that as a resident (and then as one half of Nick and Dave)and John Dickinson and Steve Heap followed soon after. Then Dave and Bernard and after that the Caruthers family.

A lot of those people then I really rated - Joe Harrison, Sheila and Mary, Harry Boardman, Tommy Yates, Ian Chisholm, Meic Stevens, Frank Duffy, all of them. Different world, different era. Nice to see them mentioned.
