Subject: RE: Heckling at Folk Clubs
I remember you well, John- at Whitby of course--- how are things in Lairg! FC was a great club & all credit to Rod & Danny for setting it up & booking such as Maggie Barry, Fred Jordan & the Stewarts- in fact I had my first wedding night hooly in the clubroom 25 July 1970.

In the mid sixties there were also sessions in the bar on Saturday night- I first met Terry Vosper there- great character. Also often a Sunday noon in the clubroom- huddled round the potbelly stove in winter & in summer continuing on the adjacent green with quart bottles of Courage (yuk) or saiing down to Hampton Court....

The Assembly Rooms was a big venue -first place I met Bob Davenport & the Rakes- heckling story there but won't repeat it- too dangerous!!
- still hear from regular Doug Dwyer- now settled in Bergerac... happy days...
