National Treasure indeed
Have a prized live recording 10 miles off the coast of Flanborough Head of Jim seguing Belinda Carlisles "Oo Heaven is a place on earth" c/w The Undertones "Teenage Kicks"
Jim took over the role of The Brid Fiddler, working on the pleasure boats out of the Yorkshire port, in the early eighties from my late compadre Nigel Chippindale, and is still going strong in the summer months.
Also a fine, and quirky songwriter, Check out Pools Win, amongst many others.
There have been several self made CDs over the years, all of which never fail in raising a smile.
Well worth checking out, and if anyone is in Brid next summer, why not take a "Trip round the Bay" with Jim.
Regards Ralphie
