Poring over the Tony Wilson (Molyneux) archive again, in amongst the various letters of confirmation and regret ("Martin already has bookings for all three of the dates you gave us, so will not be able to be with you." - signed, Dorothy Carthy) is a little touch on the times from as recently as March 1974,in a letter from Mick Groves.
reads - "Dear Tony, Just to confirm the Bothyfolk for next Monday, 18th to introduce Sean Cannon and do 2 x half hour spots, for £15."
Presumably The Spinners had their own gig and were asking the lads to dep. Wonder how much Sean got?
Barbara, I bet you were at that evening at Gregsons Well?
