I remember Bob from when we were both young floorsingers together doing floorspots at Nuneaton Arts Centre and the first Blackthorn Club run by Nina Ssifriz at Coleshill.

He can't remember me. I was surprised when I retired down here to find him running a folk club in the next village.

Nearly fifty years ago now. We 'not proper folksingers' are nearly old enuff to set up our own tradition.
