To MtheGM :"Are you the young man who sang Irish songs who turned up on my recommendation at one of the Cecil Sharp House monthly sessions.....and sang "Are you there Moriarity?"?"

Well, Michael, I have no recollection of that particular Cecil Sharp House session, but it sounds likely as I know noone else who sings "Moriarity". It was a long time ago but if I met you at Eel Pie Island I'm sure it's true. You'll have to remind of your name, although the old grey cells are not what they used to be.
Sandy Paton was very encouraging to me - recommended I listen to Margaret Barry, etc. I saw her at the Bedford in Camden Town and eventually booked her at my club in Lewes, Sussex. My last contact with Sandy was in the States round about 1969/70.
