I somehow missed seeing this thread in the previous flurries of activity in 2008 and 2013, so I'm glad to have found it now. I was a regular attender from 1965 to 1968 and occasionally for another year or so when I was doing a PhD at Reading and visiting friends in Oxford. A year or two ago I tried to find the Baker's Arms on Google streetview and wondered what had happened to it: now I know.

Dunno that there's much I can add about people and goings on. I was pleased to run into Dave Crosbie at Edinburgh University Folk Song Society one evening some time in the 70s. I know (Herga) Kitty very well, but we didn't overlap at Oxford and I met her at the Herga.

Last Christmas Hugh Miller emailed Kitty and others with a link to his pictures from the 60s. He said "It's fine with me for you to pass this email, or the web address, on to anyone else you think might be interested" so Kitty passed it to me and I in turn now post it here.

Over the last year or two I've been getting a lot of my 35 mm slides digitised, including some from the Heritage: I'll put some on my (rudimentary) website and post a link here idc.

I also have tape recordings, the earlier ones copied from a friend, the later ones my own. I'll consider whether any of those are worth making public.
