Thread Name: Tom Paley in Chorlton UK
Subject: RE: Tom Paley in Chorlton UK
He now often plays with Joe Locker and his son Ben Paley in the New Deal String Band. Here is a bit about Joe on the Freshwaters UK web page :
Originally from the Bronx, New York City, Joe Locker is a picker and banjoman who learned his trade in the late 1950s and early 1960s, during the now legendary Washington Square Park sessions, from the playing of people such as Roger Sprung, Eric Weissberg, Tom Paley and the New Lost City Ramblers....

I am happy to report that You Tube has a few offerings of Tom Paley
