Thread Name: Lyr Req: Superman (Fred Wedlock)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I wish I was Superman
Yep, I've just played it. It was sitting on my hard drive! Thanks to all.
Back in the '70s Bristol had a really hot folk scene. The last time I saw Fred Wedlock was at the Bristol Wine Fair, he and his wife were trying to get drunk on the free tasters that were included with the entry price.
I remember playing in folk clubs all over the area. The Stonehouse, The Bristol Flyer, there was one down on the docks - a real traditional club who didn't much like my stuff - and another in Downend. A bloke named Reg who lived (IIRC) in Midsummer Norton ran several including one in a cellar in Bath. He also hosted a show on Local Bristol TV - Graham and I (we were known as Cacofonix) were on when the plug was pulled on the last night.
