Subject: RE: Birmingham Folk Clubs 1950's to 1970's
Well I went in the mid 70's. By that time Magic Lantern were a big act on the folk scene. Pete Coe was very young but he was a good melodeon player and his song Joseph Baker was everywhere in every folk club. John Kirppatrick had a couple of albums under his belt and was generally thought to the best squeezebox player around.

Dan Fone was going round with Alex Campbell as his young protege. I He could Deep River Blues - Doc Watson style. I saw him a bit later in a band called Ricky Cool and the Icebergs on TV.
