John Carson Whereabouts

I was wondering if anyone out there knows John Carson. He was a Scottish male nurse who lived in Bedford who sang & played guitar & who set up a singaround at the Fleur De Lys pub something like 30 years ago I would think. It's just that one or two people from round about that time have reappeared in my life & I suddenly remembered him & thought that it would be great to get in contact again if possible.

Hmm, there's a John Carson in a group called parklane. Although looking comparatively young, please have a try for www.parklane.moonfruit.com/ if you like.

Last saw John some 20 years ago in Bedford, how time flies. If you can find Geoff Boughton he might well know if he's still around.

I started my (for want of a more accurate description) singing career at John's sing around club at the Fleur De Lys back in 1973. Having moved away I went back to do a gig in Bedford some 10 or 12 years ago and made inquiries about John then with no success.
I also started a thread < John Carson - where is he now? > back in 2004 with no real luck.
Seem to remember a telephone conversation around then, with him or some one who knew him, suggesting he was well, still performing and had joined/formed a group.

I would also like to contact John. We started Tuesday Folk together at the Fleur de Lys in Beford. We moved to Norway in 1978 and lost contact after a few years. There is a John Carson in Bedford according to the last census. Martin
