Also worth mentioning is The Songsmith magazine published by barrie Roberts and Bill Caddick.

And also Cosely Folk Club run by Taff Thomas of magic lantern fame. i saw Pete Coe there and dan Fone, and Tim laycock who lives down in Dorset nowadays. dan is somewhere in Ireland, but he's on face book. he had an agent in Astwood bank that handled Alex campbell as well.

The Fighting Cocks in Moseley was also an arty venue that occasionally hosted folk acts.
