For any of Jim's fans not in Yorkshire 4 of Jim's Yorkshire songs can be heard for free at www.yorkshirefolksong.net which is the Yorkshire Garland Website. 'Thunderin' sort of a Lie', 'The Lady of York', 'Oh what a windy night!'The Beverley Maid and the Tinker'. Also some of the songs we recorded together in the East Riding are in there. The 4 recordings are live recordings from our Launch day concert at York. Jim is one of our county treasures and the website wouldn't have been the same without some recordings of him.
Some of Jim's songs and ballads from the sixties are among my great favourites, particularly the supernatural ballads.
One of my lads' favourite toys was a flute playing spider made out of leather with a hat on rather like Jim's made by Lynette for them. It sits on the shelf in pride of place.
He is definitely one of the great characters of the folk scene.
