Spin Magazine

Early in 1962 with folk music becoming very popular
 Tony & Beryl Davis, John Fargher and Jim Peden
started to produce a folk magazine for the fans
of  The Spinners

Volume 5 Number 3

Stan Hugill & The Spinners

Price 1/6

Stan Hugill was soon asked if he would like to contribute to this
magazine. His depth of knowledge on all types of maritime folk
was considered to be an invaluable resource.

Stan often appeared as a guest with The Spinners on radioand
television, and he was a frequent visitor to their weekly folk club
in Liverpool.
 

And so the 'Bosun's Locker' made its regular appearance
in the magazine.
The articles, make fascinating reading, and are illustrated in typical Stan style, each edition covered a single topic,
and over time they built up to an interesting source of reference. But they are easy to read and even the most inexperienced landlubber can begin to understand his passion for the shanty!
For the more experienced amongst us - there is always
something new to learn. These articles are a real
treasure trove!

Reference to this series of articles would never have been possible
without the initial efforts and work of Tony and Beryl Davis. Some people are lucky enough to still have a set of Spin magazines - but
sadly they are not now available.
