I knew Alasdair Clayre from working on the radio ballad 'The Factory' in the series 'Landmarks' produced by Charles Parker, music direction by Peggy Seeger, songs and script by Alasdair. He was a talented chap, and likeable, but had a very nervous quality about him. MacColl& Seeger rated him highly, and he worked with top people including Frankie Armstrong. Unfortunately his talent was at the mercy of his temperament. The news of his death was a terrible shock. A sad loss, he was quite young and would have gone on to great things I'm sure. 'Landmarks' went out in 1965. Musicians were Peggy Seeger, Jim Bray (bass) and Bobby Campbell(fiddle). Singers were Alasdair, Wymond Symes, and myself. There was some talk of Folkways doing an album of that broadcast but I don't know if it ever happened. Burl.
