Thanks, Billy

I found a reference to Albert Richardson recording 'Farmer's Boy' in the Sussex Express in January 1932, but it doesn't appear in any of the listings in 'The Gramophone' from then up to around 1936. Pity that!

I interviewed Den Giddens at his home near Oxted last December, and he sings 'The Fly Be on the Turnip' which, he told me, he got from a 78 "with the Old Sow on the other side". (Den sings the former on his Wild Goose CD 'A Little Bit Off the Top') I leapt to conclusions and thought it might be Albert - it could have been Leslie Sarony. However, I am assured in Burwash that Albert "only did the two" although he was known to have sung 'the Fly'.

Thanks Q for the second version of 'Buttercup Joe'.
