I went to the Ring o Bells in Middelton now and again. I guess I mostly went to the Fishermans Inn at Hollingworth Lake. If/when we get back over there, we will certainly be looking for some Folk Clubs in the Manchester area. Associated Mudcatters too of course. Good luck with the Festival. JohnB

Mmm...let me see...the Bath Hotel, Oldham; The Gallows in Milnrow; The Ring o, Bells, Middleton...places like that, John. If you ever get over here to see relatives or anything it would be nice to see you. All the best Harry.

Where were you 30 years ago when I lived in Newton Heath ? Or even only 23 years back when I left England. JohnB

My pleasure, Noreen...hope to see you there. Incidentally, in my initial excitement at the clicky thing I forgot to mention the name of the pub the Open Door's held at which is the Bull's Head on Oldham Road. Silly me!

Yet another busy weekend in store!
