Oh wow how could I have forgotten the Korner Blues band? Thank you for bringing back some great memories.

Yes, Willow, they were a great band - certainly good enough to be signed by a record company. I think Ian Alveston still plays in a folk club up Ossy somewhere. Still see Florrie around town sometimes when I'm having a pre-match drink.

Just seen this thread, Ian was good mate of mine in the sixties along with his brother Tony, I think I've mentioned before they were founder members of the Warriors before the days of Jon and Tony Anderson, Ian is one of the best self taught guitarists I've ever seen, gave me a few lessons in the sixties, haven't seen him for years now, I did here he was living up Green Haworth somewhere
