John Otway
........................... |
I was stunned by the man's energy and what he'll do to entertain an
audience at Sheffield and Leicester and, years later, Redhill. On 6 October 2002 his follow-up "Hit", 25 years after his first, reached a staggering number 9 in the UK National Chart, in the face of industry opposition but much fan love and media support. You can read John SC's take on it in Plugged in - the Garage Radio newsletter. Be impressed by Otway's website, which first made me want to have a
go at html. |
|
Sonny Terry &
Brownie McGhee ... |
What a privilege to support these men at the Half Moon, Putney. They first made me want to hold an
audience with just a guitar. |
|
Iron Maiden ...................... |
A band who were surprisingly fun to support in Aberdeen. |
|
Chris Rea
.................. |
I enjoyed a good night at Sheffield supporting his band, as well as his input to
Wivabandon sessions. |
|
Allan Taylor
............................... |
He was delivering the goods with Cajun Moon, at when I worked with him at Cambridge Folk Festival. Consistently good for many a
year, he's overdue for wider recognition here in his own country. |
|
Vin Garbutt
....................... |
Amazed me at Cambridge and the Half Moon, Putney with his performing talents and with his courageous
choice of issues in his song writing. |
|
Mud
.................... |
A very pleasant and entertaining couple of nights in Sheffield with
these blokes. |
|
Racing Cars
.................... |
A most enjoyable Saturday night gig with this band at Charing Cross
Hospital; really nice people, really good music. |
|
Magna Carta
........................ |
One of the high spots of Folk at the Chequers was the chance to work
with these. Linda Taylor, who sang on Wivabandon, joined them subsequently in the
80's |
|
The Rubber Bishops................ |
Worked with this funny duo at Beckenham and wndered what became of them. Took me years to realise that the half I liked was Bill Bailey |
|
The Pretenders
.................... |
Perhaps I didn’t see them on a good night but I had a good gig
supporting them at Sheffield. |
|
Martin-Kingsbury

|
Half Moon, Putney
.................... |
thanks for posting my name on the Walls of Fame. I spent a happy six months or so as resident there in 1980. |

Compelling traditional English folk music, especially with the angelic voice of
Lynne Heraud, good to see each year at Broadstairs |
