Rival Folk (part one)

The original Rival folk was formed consisting of Jim Grundy, Geoff and Biddy Fowler. They played many a working mans club, from The Talk of The North, The Embassy Club and The Royal Palladium to the famous Wheel Tapers and Shunters Club. North West success led to many an award, one of which was the best cabaret band in the North West competition - held at the afore mentioned Talk of The North Club in Eccles! The Rival Folk won first prize and were supposed to Headline the event, eventually having the honour of accepting the award from The Prime minister - Mr Harold Wilson. Unfortunately things went proper tits up because Mary Grundy - Jim Grundy's wife rather inconsiderately went into labour, but as Jim said - "the show must go on..!!", The Rival Folk went on 1st and was presented the award by Albert Tatlock and Hilda Ogden of Coronation Street fame. An hour later and after calling at The Red Lion in Swinton for several half glasses of mild and a pickled egg, Jim Grundy arrived at Hope Hospital In the nick of time as just 23 and a half hours later, Jonathan Jeffrey Eugene Grundy was born and is now a member of The newly formed Rival Folk featured on their very own page (Rival Folk [part 2])
