The North Circular Accidental Band! I used to work in C# House with Doug Sherriff, and a gas guy he was too. Anybody know what he's doing these days? The Rising Sun at Catford was one of my habitual haunts - which is where I first became friends with Anne Lister and Ralphie, among other folk. The late lamented Dave Bryant was also a regular there, I think; and that was the first place I ever heard Nic Dow and Tim Laycock sing, both of whom used to turn up fairly often, at least in my day. Ruth, who ran it in later years, is a Facebook buddy and I've just heard from her. (She has not lived in London in some years, and is keeping very well indeed.)

Anybody remember the club very near C#H in Gloucester Avenue, The Engineer or The Railway, or some name that reminded me of trains? That was the first British folk club I ever went to, to see Carolanne Pegg.

Yes Judy, those definitely were the days! O my friends, we're older but no wiser...
