My abiding memory of Alex was watching him chucking up over the front row of a club audience in Manchester - sorry.
In the mid sixties MacColl and Lloyd organised a forum in Soho, central London, at a pub called The John Snow - the speakers were Bert Lloyd, Bob Davenport and Alex Campbell - the meeting was chaired by Ewan.
Lloyd's contibution was somewhat lightweight and acedemic; Davenport's was aimed at proving that all 'art' (unless it was written with a small 'a') was "Bourgeois" and Campbell whinged incessently about singers new to the scene being paid the same fee as him for club bookings.
Davenport managed to reduce the meeting to what sounds like a fist-fight when he described Jeannie Robertson as "a terrible singer".
