On Sunday 26th June, 2011, the Bothy Folk Club, now based at The Park Golf Club, Park Rd West, Southport, PR9 0JS are running a Themed Singers Night, 'Three Score & Ten'; it's also Ian Wells' birthday. Can the number and the birthday conceivably be related? Doesn't seem possible, but then he has been a ubiquitous and supportive presence on the North West folk scene for as long as I can remember (and I've been in this area nearly forty years). All the best for the day!
