It sounded like you were having a good time!

That was the first thing my dad wrote - he was recovering from a bout of flu and wanted something to occupy his mind and came up with that poem. He's got five poems on the CD that was mentioned last night.
I'll have to ring him up and tell him he was on - we were at a folk club when that was going out - I heard it on the tape I make of the show when I got in later on. (The BBC might not be making archive copies...!)
I'm looking forward to being involved in the next project with the old Lancashire songs that Chris and Giff have unearthed in their trawl round the libraries.
Another project that Chris and I are doing at the moment is a CD of the songs of Harry Boardman (who got a couple of mentions last night) - nothing to do with "Lancashire Voices" but it's something we've both talked about in the past and we've nearly finished the recording. Should be available after Christmas and hopefully you'll have us in to chat about it sometime!

Bernard - I wouldn't mind a copy of Trevor's CD myself

Cheers
Mark
