Yes, that's Shay  and Stormalong John included two of the previous residents
of Adrian House - Frank McColl and Tony Rosney and, I think, Tony Wilson
(always wore a cap, ginger hair and beard).
Was that the old Cross Keys by the boxing stadium (now demolished) in the
town centre (there were two that had Folk clubs).
There were only two pipers in Liverpool then (although we did import
Alistair Anderson as a guest  - I still have a reel-to-reel tape of that
since converted to mp3s) and Canny Fettle as guests.
One was me and the other chap (I never caught his name)   I heard at the
Catholic Metropolitan Folk Club - wasn't you was it?
He did have quite a shock of dark wavy hair and, unusually for then, wasn't
playing a Hedworth set!
