Clive (Wild Rover) Lever asked me to link the following interesting questions from the music anoraks site.

"Hello, Everybody!

Can any of you give me an answer to where the following might be now, and
what they might be doing?

1. The Songwainers. I actually did trace some references to them through a
Google search some time ago, but the data seemed fairly old. One of their
numbers was a rather complex piece about Robin Hood, featuring more than one
tune, and possibly put together from more than one set of words. Two of the
trio were pretty accomplished singers by any standards.

2. Dunadane. I'm not even sure that I'm spelling the name correctly, but
they were pretty well to the fore during the early 'seventies, doing (among
other things) a song called The Beggar Comes, as well as a version of Kemp's
Jig. I think they recorded more than one album.

3. Dave And Dave. One of these chaps was called Dave Hislop, but I can't
recall the surname of the other one. included in their repertoire were such
items as a version of Claudy Banks and an arrangement of Follow The Drum.

I had thought of writing to Jim Lloyd some years ago about all of this, but
never got round to doing so. Incidentally, I wonder what he's up to himself
these days?
