Yes, Sam is a very talented young man and deserves all the help and encouragement we can offer him. I find it very exciting and incredible that he is still finding singing travellers that are unknown to the folk revival, and some very interesting stuff too. For instance the only known version of The Barley and the Rye comes down to us from Harry Cox. The only other source is a 17th century broadside. Sam has turned up another few verses of this rare song.

Sam is based in London, but is collecting material on the south coast somewhere. If anyone in that area genuinely wants to offer help and expertise please PM me. Unfortunately I am many miles away in Yorkshire, but I have already offered help with identifying songs and fragments.
