My final post on this thread because I will not enter into protracted arguments which have no chance of being resolved:-

VicSmith, Fred Baxter told me THAT he was a burglar,
He told the same to me and to other people including some who have contributed to this thread. No-one is doubting the truth of the matter. I am stating that to say so now on a public forum long after his death is in bad taste. There was no need to pit that word in front of his name

I saw Alex Campbell about 1974, he was superb, absolutely hilarious.
I doubt if he was booked Very often by Vic Smith.
My records show that I booked this fascinating, enigmatic and unpredictable character on four occasions. I received a printed circular from him - probably other folk club organisers who had booked him got the same circular - saying that he was moving to Denmark but he wanted to thank those who has supported his folk club career.

Vic Smith would not have got on his high horse and started tilting at wind mills its all Alex Campbells fault.
Please try to clarify this confusing statement.
