Subject: RE: Best Folkies from out of Greater Manchester
Surprised tharrit took so long for Geoff Higginbottom to get a mention - Well Done Dave Polshaw!

Geoff wrote a 'mini folk-opera' aboot the Man Utd air crash using his own songs and others written about the tragedy. Crackin album.

Aah've worked wi' Geoff for best part of 15 years noo and he's purrup with a lot of grief from me but he IS a true talent and a fablious lad. Crack on Stockport's Foghorn.

Aah nevver knaah'd Fiona Simpson wez from Stockport - She speaks so well - A voice like an angel!

And aah love Marie Little te bits - We're hopin' te et a small tour arranged in October doon here in Hampshire/Dorset so if anyone can help, give us a PM and aah'll pass the details on to Sam & Sandy who are organisin'

Love yez aall
