Jenni has said on previous occasions that on her way home from school she would go to watch Dave Burland on point duty. She chose Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez to sum up.

I assume such 'diaries' are made up for the programme.

Caught bits of this.

Which pub did she mention as the Barnsley folk club venue?

I have listened to the 28mins worth and you really could not make it up. She passed 11+ to the girls High School and events recalled from her diary totally believable ~

Dave Burland and The Wheatsheaf pub (had about 3 incarnations of folk club there) ~ was popular pub for drinkers, folkies and even Longsword dancers over time ~ bottom of Racecommon Rd upstairs separate room ~ right on the corner being edge of town and 6 roads all converged ~ now a roundabout and Wheatsheaf knocked down!

Have a listen ~ recommended
