Thread Name: Who is the Funniest Folk Act in the UK?
Subject: RE: Who is the Funniest Folk Act in the UK?
Does anyone have email contact information for any of the members of Mr. Gladstone's Bag?
I have some old recordings I made of them at a barn concert in Sidmouth in 1974 that they might want. If anyone else wants an mp3 copy, contact me and I will send it to you.
I am also trying to get the words for "Bakewell Witches" and "My Fiddle Is My Sweetheart", two of the songs they did there. I have most of the words from the recordings, but can't understand all of them. If anyone wants a challenge, perhaps you can help decipher the lyrics from the recording.
As for the Bakewell Witches tune, I am told that nobody in Bakewell knows there was a tune about that event. So it would be a real gift to Bakewell to repatriate their song.
Thank you
