GUEST,oldstrings Peter Bellamy - died 24 Sept 1991 (190* d) RE: Peter Bellamy 18 yrs today since he died 02 Oct 11


Wonderful to be able to catch up on Peter Bellamy's career, and hear all the stories.
I first met Peter when he and a fellow student named Robin asked me to solicit performers for a benefit concert for Oxfam and World University Service. That must have been around 1964, when I was running the singers' booking service at Cecil Sharp House. The concert, headed by Bob Davenport and The Rakes, was sold out and everyone very pleased.

The last time I saw Peter was only a few years later, when I was included in the chorus for the recording of an EP of chanteys (yes, a gramophone record!) by The Young Tradition. After that, I lost touch and only heard in recent years of his death.
