"Everything the Watersons sang!"

I agree with Steve. It was a seminal moment when, in 1964/5 (can't remember which) they came to the tiny East Yorkshire folk club I'd just started going to and sang songs like Three Score and Ten. It was a revelation that people sang like that and sang songs about our area. So that was what folk music was all about! Better yet, they were willing to talk at length to a young 15/16 year old about it - then and many more times after that.
