Dave Favis-Mortlock: The Poachers

The Poachers. Old-school folk group, Banbury-based; I substituted for their 'proper' fiddler for a year or so in the early 1980s. I don't think I was ever sober for more than a few minutes at any Poachers gig. These must have been great fun, if I could only remember them. One newspaper cutting (which I still have) said, "By the time midnight struck, the Poachers group had enlarged considerably with enthusiastic members from the audience".
