My good old mate Chas, not heard from him or of him for too many years, anyone know his whereabouts? He was my No 1 worker & helper at Stanford in the Vale back in the late 80s.

Skipy,

Chas is back in Andover. I bump into him from time to time. He is happy fishing etc. He claims to have no further interest in Folk, and I have stopped asking him about it.

Perhaps we should do a flashmob. he was alovely person when I knew him and I suspect still is. Would be good to see him again. when you see him let him know he is not forgotten and we hold fond memories of him.

It's a question I've often asked, usually to the empty air. I came into possession of a cassette CP released in the early '90s – Silhouettes – and I've been entranced by it ever since. Occasionally I sing one of the songs on it, Travelling Man. So does anyone know whether CP has released any more of his singlular songs in the intervening years?

Raymond,

Chas put out a tape in 1980 called "Patient Reflections" on the Wild Goose label. As far as I know "Silhouettes" and this one are the only tapes he produced, although he has had one or two appearances on compilation tapes, "Friends of the Lion" for instance in 1989.
It is possible that Doug Bailey has copies of his tapes.

Whoops; It came out in May 1990, not 80. Should have gone to........!

Doug will still have the masters. We have a copy of each - somewhere amongst our tapes, none of which have been played for years.

First met Chas at the Red House in Whitchurch when he was in a duo? called Doctors Orders. He was a regular both there and at Whitchurch Festival for many years. Did a lot of his own stuff and also repaired my guitar although his repair to my auto harp rendered it unplayable as he stuck it together with araldite which stuck the bars.
Saw him a couple of monthas ago in Andover, very briefly,
