Dave Favis-Mortlock: with Peter Kearney

With Peter Kearney, who encouraged me to learn to play the fiddle in the 1970s.

For my first ever gig, I banged a drum (on the off-beat, off-puttingly) for Peter's recorder ensemble in Basildon town centre, somewhere near the Post Office.

Later (
when he and Madge had moved somewhere near Wellingborough), I played fiddle on some of Peter's songs. To increase the volume level when I soloed, I had to step up onto a brick, to get nearer the microphone. I still have a copy of the recording.
