Subject: RE: The Song Carriers - Ewan MacColl (1968)
Sorry - my mistake (some mat remember his neice Clare, from when she worked at the BBC) This should read 'some may remember his niece Clare Gilligham, who worked as Malcolm Taylor's assistant in the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library' in the early 1990s. There was a further Radio Ballad produced for schools, set in the East End of London, based on Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' and Charles went on to produce two more, without Ewan and Peg and on a greatly reduced budget - Ian and Lorna Campbell did the music. These were entitles, 'Cry From the Cut' (canals) and 'The Jewelry' (based on the area of that name in Birmingham). Jim Carroll
