Hello FolkieDave - sorry to be so tardy in adding a thought or two here - this thread being 'old' now.
The fact is, I've just been trawling Mudcat for Benjamin Bowmaneer references, and found your comment re. my performance on the (sadly now axed) Henry Ayrton Show.
I'm soooooo glad you enjoyed my live rendition of 'Ben Bow' - it's grand to have such feedback, even at this late juncture!
You may be interested to hear I've just recorded the song with my folk-rock band and Alistair Hulett 'guests' on that track!
Hopefully just a few weeks away from release now.
Do get in touch - a 'search' of my name should find the website for you with an email address there. I (or we) may have a gig near you sometime - so you could have the opportunity to hear it live again if the mood strikes you!
Thanks for the back-pat! Cheers! - Duncan McFarlane
