Thread Name: Best Folkies from out of Barnsley ?
Subject: RE: Best Folkies from out of Barnsley ?
Deighton family, Dave was a melodeon player and had a family band including Rosie Arthur Maya and wife Josie

Josie and Dave live in Barnsley still and family "all over" I think Arthur in Holland where Josie came from

One Deighton family member on the folk scene nationally I think Rosie?

Dave at Leeds College of Music was making instruments last I spoke to him

Dominic Dudill studied music at Barnsley College, his dad being a dance caller, he went to Manchester and plays with two bands the one local to Barnsley being James Cannon and the Sinners who are quite some band doing Irish

James of course is Sean Cannon's son!! grew up in Barnsley

Others are Dave Fisher who plays with Dave Burland's Rock and Roll Band and Bryan Ledgard who did album sleeves for folkies

the Bretton college people had one early folkie who worked at the old night club in Barnsley who went to do perfoming arts teaching at Barnsley College ~ name escapes me at the mo'
Others at Bretton did pottery and came from Stoke way
