Cassington
My son has just come home and told me about a concert in our next village, Cassington in Oxfordshire on Oct 4th. Fantastic! In the late 60s, early 70s I ran The IOW Folk Club at The Sloop Inn and played in the resident band "Witchazel". We booked Gordon to play (he was a child prodigy :lol...

The sig says most of it! I was in a resident folk band Witchazel at the Sloop Inn on the Isle of Wight from the late 60's to 1970. It was a fabulous venue with doors that opened wide onto Wootton Creek on hot summer nights. I doubled up as the booking agent and every three or four weeks we could act...

String changing procedure

I was tol...

A newbie is born.....
Hi Apologies if this has been answered in the past, but I've only just found the forum. I used to play in the late 60s/early 70s folk circuit and that is where I first met and heard Gordon play, as I was a resident band member and artist booker for the Isle of Wight Folk Club. My problem is, after a...
