To Guest Brian M
Yes I remember Jon Strong He was around the Bradford/Leeds area for quite a lot from the early 1970,s. He used to get round the local clubs doing floor spots and bookings. Generally sang contemporary material plus later his own stuff. Went out with a group of musicians under the name The Jon Strong Band. There are a lot of people from that era, who though on the young side have disappeared. One of the residents at The Topic Folk Club who used to get round the local clubs doing floor spots and bookings was Peter Timmins. He was allways highly regarded by the proffesional musicians for his guitar playing and the way he researched his songs. He is though now Doctor Timmins head of one of the large drug companies Research and Development Departments on the Wirrall. I am lucky enough to have 3 recorded live tapes from 3 of his paid gigs.
I do realise this has nothing to do with Peter Bond but I got carried away answering Brian M's question. Though Peter Bond Held PT in high regard at the time.
