Malcolm Price. The master of wonderfully controlled, tasteful flatpicking. He was very, very funny too. I was at that gig with Doc Watson at Guildford. It was probably in 1965 on Doc Watson's first UK tour. Ralph Rinzler - part of the Greenbriar Boys- was playing mandolin with Doc. Malcolm Price, along with Roger Churchyard (fiddle), John Field (banjo) and Ian McCann (guitar) were doing the support. They were amazing - the best I ever saw them perform.
Although it was all such a long time ago I've never forgotten that gig. Guildford Folk club was very much a traditional club at the time and to end the evening, they got one of their floor singers- Tom Dillon, to do an unaccompanied song. The contrast was stark and I didn't quite know what to make of it. In retrospect, I think it was a great idea.
