Hi Jack,
Hi Jack,
Saw your last entry. I live in a village just outside Sudbury, not far from you and Margaret.
The Quay Theatre in Sudbury has performances by Folkies. I went to an evening with John Kirkpatrick on the 13th. Martin Simpson was there a few weeks ago and last year Maddie Prior gave a solo concert. We discussed the old Cellar days & I had a photo of you and I at the front while she was singing with Tim Hart.
I'm in touch with Don Wallace who I met on the quay in Ipswich, and Don Bonito (ex NW3). (Sadly, Maureen has passed on. They are still performing, not together though! Went to visit Don at Saffron Walden lately where I played banjo and he a new guitar. (We appear to have swopped instruments!)
He gives banjo lessons to youngsters. There was a folk club at the Quay but it closed down recently.
Lack of support unfortunately. I played the small Hummelchem bagpipes there which I have taken up. Perhaps there is some way we can get in touch?
