In what way Les? I am fairly sure Bert helped with suggesting material and wrote some of the sleeve notes to the records. He certainly, as far as I know never helped with any harmonisation.

And when they first started they used to do some American stuff though they never recorded any. Before John Harrison there was Pete Ogley (later to sing with Cockersdale) who was rumoured to have left because he felt they would not get anywhere singing English traditional music.

And Lal and Mike were terrific songwriters. Bert certainly didn't help there.

HTH,
