Subject: RE: Fleetwood & Fishing: Songs of the Trawling Trade
GUEST, if you sign in to Mudcat (own name or alias, whatever you like as long as nobody else picked the same one!) I can send you a Personal Message (PM) via the PM clicky that you see against poster's names in the thread above, or you can PM me with your address details.

The answer to your question is "yes". I can supply a 2xCD-r version of the Final Trawl which contains the full 95-minute show as you had on the original cassette, or a single-CD-R version containing only the songs (just under 60 minutes).

We originally charged £10 for the double-CD version in a double-CD jewel case, which replaced the cassete version. I am currently asking £3 per CD-r, so £6 for the double-CD, £3 for the Final Trawl Songs. £1 for postage. My email address is rossjcampbell(at)excite.com

Through the good offices of Spleen Cringe at Lost Folk Tapes, it looks like I should be able to upload audio versions of songs as and when I post them here. I may need to look at other options when I run out of pre-recorded material, or the archive material isn't good enough to use.

Sorry for late reply, I just got back from the Easter Shanty Festival at the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum (a resounding success) - shantys a-plenty, but much, much more. Heard Hissyfit's beautiful arrangements for the first time, lovely songs from Hazel and Linda (whose song "The Luckiest Sailor" was posted on Mudcat almost ten years ago). Hope to include more of Linda Kelly's work here eventually.

Also put faces to the names of Dave and Julie Evardson, first time I've seen and heard them, though Dave's "North Wall" I have heard from various sources before. Again, their material meshes in perfectly with the Fleetwood experience, covering the shore-side trades as well as the trawlermen and I hope to include their songs here as well. A great week-end.
