Thread Name: Alan Green & Folk Heritage label etc
Subject: Folklore: Alan Green & Folk Heritage label etc
Hi, folks,

I'm currently researching Alan Green's late 60s/70s UK family of labels: Folk Heritage, Westwood, and Midas. I'm currently just finishing up "framing" the info I have, which includes tons of info on the various artists and the records themselves (with a few holes still left to fill, of course) and am about to start reaching out to folks who appeared on the labels to arrange interviews etc, but before I did I thought I'd tap the Mudcat knowledge base first.

To keep the first question basic and to the point: I know much (much!) more about many of the artists on these labels than I do about Alan Green himself. Besides learning that he died a while back, rather young, in his late 50s, most of what I know about him is discographical and related to the records themselves, I don't know a lot about his background, etc.

Anyone out there from the old North West folk scene remember Alan and care to share any memories?

Thanks in advance,
