Thanks Barbara, that sounds promising. If Pete Collins reads this, any chance of meeting up at the Vine at Tenterden next Tuesday? My informarion comes from Gavin Atkin, who was tasked with acting as Bud's chauffeur at the English Country Music weekend held at Frittenden in 1988. He told me 'he sang a few popular songs from the early part of the last century, and quite a lot from the Great War, many of which were bawdy. I particularly remember liking the one beseeching people to 'Save Our Souls, Save Arseholes', but I couldn't sing it now. Maybe Chris (Warner of the dance band Florida) could'.
