Thread Name: Info: Derek and Dorothy Elliott
Subject: RE: Derek and Dothy Elliott
I think it's probably unfair to say Derek and Dorothy sing 'Waterson'songs; Derek and Dorothy moved from Barnsley to Whitby just after the miner's strike, Derek replaced all the miner's teeth as they had time on their hands (made false ones)!
Dorothy and Nadine started the Enamel W/s, Nadine is I believe still with Chris Parkinson and other Daughter Melody also lives there
Derek had a stroke a number of years ago, but has made excellent progress, he still comperes also at Fylde FF, his great mate is Alan Bell who says tried to kill, him with friendly fire!in the war
D&D started Barnsley FC which is still going on Mondays, now in the Shaw Inn ~ I'm Chairman, they were excellent original researchers and arrangers in their own right, and I'm sure tried hard to pursue harmony in 'the style' of the Waterson's and made an excellent job of it in true living tradition style
