Correct. Not related.

And for completeness also the following info:

To my knowledge, of the people on this side of the pond mentioned earlier in the thread, those who knew my father in person were Alfie Bass (in his Unity days)and Norman Buchan and his wife Janey (who he certainly knew in Scotland after the war.)

Not sure he ever stepped inside Cecil Sharpe House. He didn't see himself as a folk songster but rather as a political and satirical lyricist - though he was pleased when his offspring got into folk in the the 1960s

In "The Story of Unity Theatre" (Lawrence and Wishart 1989) by Colin Chambers a footnote reference to Cecil Woolf is to our mother (incredible but true).

Yours aye
