I took over from Jack & Margaret King with the running of the Folk
Cellar at CSH for a number of years. I remember Paul Simon dropping
in to sing from the floor and asked for a booking.
I also used to do holiday reliefs at the Hampstead Folk Song Club and at the BBC Folk Club at Broadcasting House. Singers would arrive
thinking they were going on air when in fact it was a club for the
staff. I used to sing at times with Karl Wahnig (an ex Up-Boat POW
who remained in this country.) Karl has now passed away.
Kevin is mentioning Diane a few times. Would that be Diane Easby who
attended the Folk Cellar, the Enterprise and the Engineer?
I gave up performing and running clubs when it became too much like
work and the pleasure went out of it, but now aged 72 I've taken up
the 5-string banjo and the Hummelchen small bagpipes and have performed recently at the Quay Theatre Folk Club in Sudbury, Suffolk.
If anyone would like to contact me they can get in touch via Dom Bonito.
