Treacle Bolly Melanie Harrold / Joanna Carlin (44) RE: Melanie Harrold / Joanna Carlin 02 Nov 10


Here is some information which went out with promo copies of her single "I Live In the City" (as Joanna) in 1976 on the DJM label:

"25-year-old JOANNA CARLIN was brought to the attention of DJM Records through JASPER CARROTT. The two used to play at the Boggery Folk Club and, in fact, are to go on tour together in May.

"Joanna's first single on the label, "I LIVE IN THE CITY", was written after her return to London from the Balearic Islands where she'd spent some months touring the South of Spain, singing in restaurants en route, trying to save enough money for her fare back to England!

"Lately, she's just finished recording 14 shows for HTV titled "Sweet Somerset", to be broadcast this summer.

"Joanna can also be heard singing lead vocals on "Slaters Waltz", a track taken from the latest Strackridge LP "Mr. Mick", currently receiving very good reviews from the music press."

What chance I wonder of those TV shows even still existing let alone anyone hearing them again ? From a few Googles it seems Joanna/Melanie was in every show with a changing cast of folk acts. Anyone remember this series ?
