Subject: RE: Best Folkies from out of Greater Manchester
Greetings and love to my cousin Bronwen.

Alive, well, living and working in Northamptonshire.

Don't sing any more - after all the whiskey and all the Woodbines there's only a croak left.

Great folkies ? Stan Ellison ; Pete Astles ; Pete "Fatty" Farrow ; Mary Asquith, to whom I raise my hat ; Big John Macatee ; 'Spider' John Graham ; Ivan the Banjo ; this in addition, you understand, to Frank, Harry, Terry W. (anyone remember a woman singer, Terry English ?); Mary Humphreys ; Maria Louden ; The Oldham Tinkers (OK, Greater Manchester) ; Jack and Lynn who used to have that Club on Bridge St. until they did the landlady up so that the Coronation Street cast could sup ale there and not be inconvenienced by folkies and other riff-raff ; Rosemary Hardman ; I could go on.
