Just saw this thread as it has been linked from the Fred obit. one

Re the above: not surprised about your confusion. The Troubadour had Ian Hunt, John Turner and Ian Turner. When they all backed me on gigs etc it got daft with three Ian's and two Turners so Ian Turner was the one who got nicknamed "Heavy Drummer" since he was, after all, a bongo player. Sadly, when I looked him up recently to organise sending him the re-issue CD that just came out including the tracks he was on, I discovered that he died of a heart attack in autumn 2008. RIP Heavy Drummer.

The Ballad Of Robin Head was written by another Bristol Troubadour resident, Keith Christmas (who also wrote that great spooky song which Martin Carthy recorded called The Fable Of The Wings)

The Folker, Fred's parody of The Boxer. Yes, he certainly wrote that - the other people who did it later like Murf and Jasper Carrott got it from Fred. I'm absolutely certain of this: I produced the album. (And OK, I'll come out of the shed after all those years . . . that's me on there as The Deaf Clifton Sunflower, credited for "country blue"!)
