He has one or two gaps to fill. Can anybody help with Chris Birch and a band called Aunt Mary Moses and also The Pikemen all around in early 1970s. There is a band called the Pikemen (Irish) but its not them as they did not form till 1978. you can contact Pete directly at Pete Rimmer |

07 Mar 21 - 12:54 PM (#4096506) Subject: RE: Bothy Folk Club old guests From: GUEST,Clive Pownceby Hiya all and thanks for all the info. so far. Pete Rimmer has gotten a real flair for archiving during the current virus situation, and we've established that Aunt Mary Moses was a kinda hippy trio from the US, who were at Whitby Festival in 1972. My predecessor Tony Wilson would've been impressed and booked them to do the Club a few weeks later that autumn. I was at Whitby that year but blowed if I can recall them. Stateside catters - over to you. Chris Birch - a Huyton lad and a terrific fiddler but wither now? I don't have any contact detail for Anthea. |
