## Resource

In this episode, Roger chats with host Brian Jones about the heyday of the Wirral folk scene - from running clubs at The Bell in Wallasey to booking guests like Martin Carthy and welcoming newcomers from the floor. Along the way, he reflects on the people who shaped those nights, the joy of singing with friends, and why he still believes that folk music’s heart lies in sharing songs, not showing off.
