Subject: RE: Al O'Donnell?
Spike Woods !, now there's a name from the past. I mentioned your name in a posting above. I was a frequent visitor to the old Folk Club at the Mariner's Hotel in Haverfordwest back in the 60s or was it the early 70s? , when you were one of the regulars.I remember bringing you a copy of Al O'Donnell's new record, a 45 rpm . Paul Turner was the usual driver in his ,if I recall correctly, 1929 Alvis .We often froze on the way down but fortified with good ale, sang on the way back to Fishguard , despite the cold.
I still have the "New Voices"? album that you appeared on along with some other emerging folk artists of the time.
