one thing, I thought was missing in those early days of the folk revival, people didn't get around as much. there weren't the motorways and cars weren't as reliable.

so if you saw Johnny Handle, or Jacquie and Bridie or The Yetties - they were possibly from apart of the country you had never visited. same with Derek Brimstone - cockney with a real edge - so different from the cor blimey governor stuff we had seen on the movies.

I bought the Yetties first song book at the time - and at the start, there is wonderful thankyou to all the folk club for making it possible to see places they would never otherwise and seen places like Hull....

I still think it was abetter introduction to our country than Homes under the Hammer.
