Does anyone else, as well as Pavane (07/07/01) and me, remember "The Castle" in Brentwood in the days of Nic Jones, Jeff & Penny Harris and Dave & Toni Arthur? I was one of the unruly crowd who used to sit on the piano in the corner. And what about the Essex Folk Festival 1968 (or 9?) held in a pub garden in Collier Row, with The Strawbs, and where Dave & Toni Arthur sang a spooky song to raise the wind, which it did (no doubt assisted by some members of the audience), so much so that the marquee nearly blew away?
