The link you've given me is a great start, there are a couple there that I haven't got yet. No mention of Broadside though, maybe there are no recordings available, but I'm sure that John will let me know if there are. Cheers K/van |

02 Sep 15 - 11:03 AM (#3734865) Subject: RE: John Conolly/Bill Meek/Broadside CDs From: Backwoodsman It's an excellent CD, I have it. Kampervan, not sure where you're located, but you might be interested in The Concert for Brian Dawson at Sleaford Playhouse on 16/10/15. Brian was, of course, a colleague of John and Bill in 'The Broadside', and was a highly respected, even revered, Lincolnshire musician and singer. Proud to have known this fine, knowledgeable, gentle man. |

See http://www.discogs.com/artist/3238434-The-Broadside and http://www.discogs.com/artist/3077813-The-Broadside-From-Grimsby. |

02 Sep 15 - 12:35 PM (#3734874) Subject: RE: John Conolly/Bill Meek/Broadside CDs From: GUEST,Kampervan Thank you everyone. Yes it was Broadside - the group - pure nostalgia from my early years listening to them at the Grimsby Folk Club. The Humber's Brown Waters' I have, and I agree, it is excellent. And thanks for the link to those Broadside recordings. I haven't got the ability play vinyl, but it's good to know about the recordings and perhaps one day they will be available to buy as uploads or CDs. I'm now living down in Kent so I'm not sure about getting up to Sleaford for the concert, but I wish the organisers well, Brian Dawson was a great musician; I didn't know him personally, but I did see him perform on many occasions and he always came across as a nice guy. Great to see Mudcat doing what it's good at! Thanks again K/van |

03 Sep 15 - 08:09 PM (#3735173) Subject: RE: John Conolly/Bill Meek/Broadside CDs From: Tattie Bogle Slight thread drift, but John did several concerts at last week's Whitby Folk Festival: I was at 2 of them and they were excellent. He had 4 or 5 CDs on sale, including the double one, which I have. |

07 Sep 15 - 01:13 PM (#3736068) Subject: RE: John Conolly/Bill Meek/Broadside CDs From: GUEST,GUEST - John Conolly Hi Kampervan! Glad to hear of your interest - but there are no Broadside recordings available on CD, except for the ones included on the double-CD set "By Humber's Brown Water",which you already have. You can contact me via "The Chantey Cabin" - the list of my recordings in their catalogue is almost complete - the only other one currently available is "The Northern Trawl" (songs by John Conolly and Bill Meek, from the play by Remould Theatre Company) I think Chantey Cabin are currently sold out of most of their stock of my CDs, but you can get them direct from me. All the best - John. |

Saw that you were in Whitby again this year...I've happy memories of us running the 'folk club night'....maybe it was 1998 just before I headed west...think that was the week Bill and Dave became an overnight success..... :-) Keep on keeping on! Cheers Pete Sumner San Francisco |

08 Sep 15 - 01:48 AM (#3736173) Subject: RE: John Conolly/Bill Meek/Broadside CDs From: Kampervan Hi John, Thank you very much for getting back to me. I think that I am short of at least one of those CDs so I'll check with The Chantey Cabin and if they are out of stock then I'll get back to you personally. If anyone had the inclination, assuming that there are some tape recordings out there, then it would be great if someone could put together a retrospective compilation CD of some of those early performers from Grimsby folk club - Silver Birch, Galley, Broadside etc.Don't know how the economics wold pan out tho! Regards Paul |

Also have "To drive dark away" which is my favourite of their Lp's even though it isn't the one with their greatest hits on :) Steve |
