Hi Linda, welcome to Mudcat.
A few of us are still around from those days.
I was in the Training Col folk club when Geoff was there and we saw him again recently - at the Monde Marie reunion.
There are some photos if you click here.
If you check out the Kiwifolk site you'll find some of us and we keep in touch via email.
We've recently lost two singers from the early days - Joan Prior died last month and then Jim Delahunty a couple of weeks back.
Joan was at the Monde reunion and there are some photos of her there. Mitch, my husband, played his guitar for her to sing because her hands were too stiff. You may remember Mitch Park, or Steve Robinson - he hasn't changed much but several of the other young blokes from the 60s are much larger than they had been and their hair was missing. And several have moved to Australia.
Where do you live now and are you still singing?
Your post was about 2 hours back so either you're a very early riser or you're in some other part of the world.
I have to get ready for work now so call again later.
Robyn
