GUEST,Sue Adams Raymond & Frederick Cantwell - info? (17) RE: Raymond & Frederick Cantwell - info? 08 Nov 21


In reply to several postings on this site I am the Granddaughter of Raymond Cantwell. He and his cousin Frederick Cantwell first sand The Nightingale when Peter Kennedy recorded it in my grandfather's house in 1956. Aubrey and John Cantwell were my uncles who used tosing The Nightingale when they were in pubs etc. I still live in Standlake where my Grandfather lived. He and my grandmother Lucy had eleven children, eight of which were boys. The whole family, especially the brothers were very well known for singing as a family and individually around the area. I have a tape that I collected over the years of various brothers singing several of their favourite songs at the famioly get togethers. If you would like to know more about the Cantwell Family you are welcome to contact me. Some of the songs they used to sing were Bless This House, Marguerette, Johnny Bradbury, Jolly Little Gee Gee, The Volunteer Organist, Yorkshire Blinder, I'll Be Your Sweetheart, Buttercup Joe, Farmers Boy, Beautiful Picture, Old Fashioned Lady.
