My memory of Tony is dominated by the quite exceptional night we had at my folk club in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham when he was the booked guest and Christy Moore turned up too, claiming it was his booking (I had booked him late one night while attending another club and we, drink doubtless having been taken, wrote down the details for dates one week apart.)

I have told the story before - at mudcat, I think, and certainly at this Salut! Live link - but fans of either Tony or Christy might find it amusing.

The ensuing double bill was probably the best club night - maybe even the best gig - I've ever experienced. Luckily, it didn't break the bank either - we put up the prices and had a full house so there was enough for both.
