Rusty Dobro Alan Smethurst, the Singing Postman (19) RE: Alan Smethurst, the Singing Postman 10 Oct 18

I've noticed a re-evaluation of AS's work lately, and encounter several competent performers of his material at pub sessions, notably John Lowe (hope I've got the name right) who met Alan in his latter years and has been allowed by the family to put some unfinished lyrics to music.

Behind the distinctive accent, many of the songs convey a useful insight into rural life at the time, and repay careful listening.
