One year at Whitby, the most memorable event I attended was Doc Rowe showing a film of a Peter Bellamy concert. And it wasn't even a very good film. And, yes, it was a good week!

I passed a pub the other day which used to host a folk club. I went there specially to see Peter. As soon as he started singing, the audience stampeded towards the door. Very strange - did they buy tickets just to see the residents? I really don't know.

May I repeat my Nic Jones story, please. Nic was very supportive of folk clubs. At the end of each performance, he would always ask the organiser, Who is the guest next week? He would then say how good the artist was and encourage the audience to come and see them. One night at the Coronation in Southport, the answer came back, Peter Bellamy. Oh, said Nic, Who's on the week after?
