I had intended to correct the Gaunt to Caunt when attacked by an outage as the electricity industry describe their failure to supply. Joe beat me to it!! Somewhere in the rather large amount of live recordings I have garnered over the last sixtyish years I have a recording of Mike singing Bendigo (as he always called it and who are we to say otherwise?). It was recorded at the Friday folk club Mike, Ian Manual & Jill Pidd ran at the Rugby Pub on what was at one time the dockside of the Queen's Dock. I was honoured to be asked by Mike to be one of the regular singers at the club. I recall many joyous wasted hours in the pub and with the company.
