<\/a>“About September 1973, I was doing a gig for the Birmingham Streetpress<\/b> in Moseley (Birmingham) at Fighting Cocks<\/i> and after the gig started to hitch my way back to Coventry. Most of the buses had finished and i walked into the center of Birmingham around Digbeth and hardly a car went by. This was Birmingham right. Tired and despairing of a lift home to Coventry (or even part of the way), I sat down on the curb strumming Vanity Fair<\/b>‘s Hitchin’ a Ride.<\/i> Out of the blue came a car – I never expected it to stop but when I got in, I noticed a guitar in the back! It was John Golding<\/b>, the Daventry folk singer who had also had a gig in Birmingham that night and was travelling back to Daventry and so passing by Willenhall in Coventry. How neat was that! I didn’t know John up til then but we had a good chat and I went to see him perform in Coventry at the Antelope Folk Club<\/i> in Coventry. John had just made an album and I gave it a plug in Hobo Magazine<\/i>.” Trev Teasdel<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAbout 1994 John Golding<\/b> was getting nowhere with major record companies. They liked his material and gave him studio time but said his songs were just not commercial enough for general release. So John set up his own production company – Cottage Records<\/b> and launched his first album Discarded Verse<\/i>.<\/p>\n
