Hi ged

I hope to able to make it. I have something on that morning that I think will finish in time to be there.

With regard to your mentioning Cheshire Folk, Tony & Arthur and The Houghton Weavers. I knew all them well.

Tony unfortunately died some years ago. Arthur is still performing- in Bollington I believe.

The I knew Norman Prince well when he was with The Auld Triangle. He left and he and I were friends as he was forming the Houghton Weavers.
There is much about them on Google if you wish to look to see what they achieved. They are still going though Norman left some time back to devote more time to broadcasting on radio.

I haven't seen or heard from Cheshire Folk but I am trying to contact somebody to inform them of the sad news. I am sure they would want to know as they were very close to your father back then.

cheers
