Subject: RE: Never heard of Alex Campbell
I was utterly bored by Ewan and Peggy when I saw them at the Yorkshire folk centre in '66 ish.
It was more academic and not to my then taste
The likes of Alex , kept my interest alive
I promoted two Jeremy Taylor concerts, one in Lewisham Town Hall , I was also used as insurance and as Jeremy was late arriving I had to go on .
For the 2nd concert at the Young Vic , Jeremy did a solo performance to a capacity house and recorded an album,
Move on some 40 years and I'm organising a club in Herts, I book Jeremy and Harvey Andrews 3 times each and they attract a full house on each occasion, as did Harvey Andrews.
Have either of them been recognised for their contribution to the folk world?
Would I have booked Ewan and Peggy ?
Ewan's song output is beyond question .
Both Jeremy and Harvey have made considerable contributions to the world of folk song plus being first rate entertainers.
Long live Jez Lowe.
