1985

1985A  Here I am with lots of hair and awful trousers outside my shared stall playing an early set of bellows blown Leicestershire smallpipes. I cannot recall the name of the young bombarde maker I was sharing with, but I know it was stall 49; always my lucky number. I can see some of my bodhran sticks on the table. I still have that table cloth.

1985B.  Youthful Blowzabella busking. Dave Roberts, Dave Shepherd, young Nigel Eaton, Paul James stripped to the waist and Big Jon Swayne!



1985C.  An exceeding young Patrick Bouffard playing at the end of the day.
