hi pete
I certainly remember the Malt Shovels....I should do because my Auntie Doris was the landlady there for many years.
I can't remember when she gave up there but I do remember all the various music that was performed there.
Everything from modern Jazz to Traditional Folk etc etc...
Last time I went in there many years ago there was a banjo band playing...there seemed to more bajoists than customers...
The Malt had a reputation under my auntie for being a " learner drinkers pub".
Most of my mates "learned" there. Of course I couldn't because she knew my age. So I learned in the Orange Tree.
I do remember the Folk workshop at the malt but just can't remember any names.
