GUEST,Chris J Brady	Best Folkies from out of Greater Manchester (151* d)	RE: Greater Manchester Folkies - Pennine Folk	05 Jul 09
Hi folks. Does anyone remember the Pennine Folk Group? I first heard them on a BBC folk prog. from Manchester in the 1960s when I was at college in Loughborough. There was a song they sang that is still maggoting around my brain called 'The Ballad of Gypsy Moth' just after Sir Francis Chichester's epic round the world voyage on the yacht - which incidentally has just recently been restored for sail training for youngsters. But having crewed many tall ships and nearly been shipwrecked in force 11 gales at least twice (both in the English Channel), the chorus to the ballad still springs to mind: "Hey, ho, roll and go, Around the Horn in the months of snow, How many time can a man defy The raging seas and the rolling sky?" Does anyone have the rest of the words, or better a recording please?
