Chris Hill was the lovely cello player on the 70's LP the "Beggar Boy of the North". that I was involved with setting up. It was all north-western English tunes, and Chris had a great touch on the slow tunes like "The Northern Lass". Alas, I have so far failed to locate Chris recently, last heard of in Gloucestershire a few years back. If anyone runs into him, tell him to get in touch. The royalties are piling up, and should run to a half, if not a pint, by now.
