Hiya Ed (Campbell)

I have both LPs. Both Sides ... and Manchester Morning. Actually I have 2 copies of Both Sides .... ~ both largely unplayable. The track that's bugging me is Sally Free and Easy ~ unplayable on both LPs. If you could send me a digital copy of that track I'd be eternally grateful. Also we have two BBC radio progs featuring the group which I can send you anyway. Please add your email address. Mine is chrisjbradyATyahooDOTcom

Hi Ed,
I knew your grandfather quite well back in the 70s when he lived in Offerton/Hazel Grove; he even posted on Mudcat a couple of times. I’m aware that he moved away and wasn't in the best of health and would love to know if he is still with us/what happened to him?

I wonder if the version of "Banks of Newfoundland" sung by The Pennine Folk on "Both Sides of the Pennines" is Roud 1812 ("We’ll scrape her and we’ll scrub her with holystone and sand") or Roud 1972 ("For fourteen days and fifteen nights on the banks of Newfoundland"). Can anybody help?

Hi Reinhard,

Yes, my grandpa moved up to Carlisle 20 odd years ago after a stint outside of Manchester since '82. He's had quite a few strokes and heart attacks since then but his strength has always pulled through and he's still cracking jokes and amazing stories every time I see him.

Ken wrote some pieces on the Venerable Bede, which became part of the Cumbrian school curriculum and ended up being performed in Carlisle cathedral.

I'll let him know that you Reinhard says hi!
