I remember Peter's Hoot Nights - which, in order for me to do so, means they had to have been happening in 1970-1972. When I went to my first one the whole folk scene was thriving and well-established, so it must have been going for awhile. One Hoot was held in one of the coffeehouses in Charles Street (name? I only remember The Turk's Head: what was the other one nearby?) and another out in Cambridge Somewhere. I also recall a young, nervous Kate McGarrigle doing a solo gig in a church basement armed only with an accordion (great party afterwards). Peter and his friends turned me onto The Coppers and Peter Bellamy and The Young Tradition and any number of other fine acts I subsequently came across when I moved to Britain. Wonderful days, those...
