The original Friendly Society (fan club) was started back in 1968 by Carole Hopkin, Mary's sister, and was run from the Beatles Apple Offices in Saville Row. Later the task of running the society was taken over by Mary's mother in Pontardawe which was Mary's home town, there it remained until it's closure in 1973.
Then it was a Fan Club today it is an opportunity for 'fans' old and new to keep in touch and continue to appreciate her music.
The fact that her recordings are so few, lends a mystique to all the beautiful songs that she has recorded, and makes searching for them such a wonderful adventure. When I discover a recording I have never heard before the memories and the magic of the first time I ever heard her voice come rolling back.
So as you can probably tell I am hooked on nostalgia. I will not apologise for that, as I love to look back and remember. So if you find yourself saying "Those Were The Days" frequently, please read on.
