Subject: RE: Oldest folk clubs?
Hi Craig /Arbuthnot / Blind Orange etc.....
Geoff Gilday, Topic Committee from about 1981-1985 originally to help out after Trevor and Alan left the Committee. In later days as M.C. / Doorman / Seller of Raffle Tickets and collector of empties in the plastic Milk Crates.
I would have at that time been playing an old Barnes & Mullins 5-string Zither Banjo with a picture of a rat smoking a ciggie inscribed on the vellum. I recall your alter ego Arbuthnot Thrope with a certain degree of bemused fondness!
Three years back I got married to Jane (Mrs.Duck), moved to Pontefract and am now father to Twins, Molly and Rowan, who were two last week.
It's a SMALL WORLD, and surprising just WHO turns up when you least expect it.
Best Wishes, Geoff!
