GUEST,horst.pohle@uba.de Where are you Paul McNeill? (50) RE: Where are you Paul McNeill? 20 Sep 04


In the eighties I did a lot of research to find out about records from the english folk revival. I issued 87 "The Folk Record Source Book" (now deleted). Within this book I have listed the two Decca albums and the Alex Campbell recording. Later I heart about the "Children of the Storm" LP. Til today the only record I could not find was the Troubadour one. I like them all very very much and was a little bit depressed to read about the death of Paul McNeill.

Recently I read the book "Dazzling Stranger - Bert Jansch and the British Folk and Blues revival" by Colin Harper.

There I found the following note:

"Bert also recalls staying with songwriter Paul McNeill - almost certainly during the summer/autumn of 1964. Never a major name, McNeill had been co-billed with Bert on his 17 March 1964 Troubadour show, where Bert recalls him being a redsident. At that time McNeill, Martin Carthy and Paul Simon all lived near each other in Swiss Cottage and comprised, from Bert`s perspective, somerthing of a clique. McNeill later partnered Linda Peters on record."

Horst Pohle, Berlin
PS: If anybody know someone who sells his Troubadour LP, please let me know.
