Review: Sussex Folk

From: chouxfleur

A new book has just been published called SUSSEX FOLK. it is a wonderful look back throught the folk scene in and around Brighton over the last 40 years. It contain descriptions of events, clubs that have been and gone, those that have stayed the test of time and others that were just a momentary blip.
Over 200 illustrations (mainly photographs) of performers, and local characters and 'stars'of the day rekindle great memories.
For anyone with any association with the 'scene' in and around Brighton (and its environs), particularly in the 60's, 70's and 80's will want a copy of this brilliant book.
Read about and see photos of positively youthful Miles Wootton, Allan(Spud)Taylor, Alex Campbell and many more.
With 200 pages, I promise that like me and Hille you'll be fighting over it and wont not want to put it down.

Its published by:
Country Books, Courtyard Cottage, Little Longstone, Bakewell, Derbyshire. DE45 1NN £14.95

or you can get it direct from the author CLIVE BENNETT for £12.50 plus postage.
I havent got his details in front of me but if youre interested let me know and I'll ferret out his address and phone no.

Regards all

I think for a small further consideration Chou, we could arrange for particular musicians to sign limited edition copies .. there could be the Wooton series .. the Spud Taylor series .. the JOhn Collyer (um, that one's a bit obscure), Phil Beer Paul Downes, Steve Knightley or the bumper Christmas version with all those signatures?

There's nothing wrong with JC, one of the finest performers that few have come across!

Clive Bennetts phone no (in case anyone is interested) is 01273 881226.

Did I say there was anything wrong with JC .. just obscure .. anyway, no need to be so defensive on his behalf .. and I'm he could keep his end if he were here

I'm in it too!! Quite good considering that I phoned up Clive about something else completely and he obviously took on board other stuff I was woffling down the phone!

Have you got your copy yet Mary?
