Angie did so much great work promoting traditional song and music, and was a good singer herself. I have many happy memories of Redditch and Four Fools, including a ballad session with Ray Fisher, Peter Bellamy, Roy Harris, Janet Russell and Martin Carthy, which was a Dream Ticket as far as I was concerned. I hope someone can pass on our condolences to Ken. |

It was always a pleasure to be invited to do some MCing and 'chance to meet' sort of things at the marvellous Four Fools fests. I've missed those in recent years after she and Ken relocated from my neck of the woods; - the warm and friendly atmosphere and the simple good cheer they both generated are things to be cherished. What happy times. |

25 Nov 19 - 12:27 PM (#4021032) Subject: RE: 2019 Obit: Angie Bladen R I P From: GUEST,Sheila Guilford So sad to hear of the passing of Angie who was a good friend to me when I was merely a teenager. I met Angie in 1969 when we were hanging around the London folk clubs at that time. We shared a flat in Muswell Hill in 1970/71 when Angie started up the Capricorn folk club at The Albany, Gt Portland Street. We had some brilliant Friday evenings there all booked by Angie while I was mainly the door person. I wish I could remember what we charged - I know it wasn't much. We used to perform a couple of numbers at the start of the evening and again to kick off after the break. She was the excellent singer while I plinky plonked a few guitar chords as accompaniment in our short lived duo, Touchwood. Angie also played the organ at my wedding in 1972, a highlight of which was "Oh how I rue the day 'ere I was married". I lost touch with Angie and Ken when they moved North and I was busy raising a family, although I tried to keep abreast of what she was up to and was sad that I never made it to the Four Fools festival. My condolences to Ken who has been by Angie's side for so many years. |
