We have a person in Lincolnshire called Brian Dawson and he is a collector of handed down songs of Lincolnshire, and many a person has rung Brian (mainly women :-), to inform him of a song they have that has been handed down over the generations. Brian visits them and gets all the information, and when he is on stage, he is just amazing what songs he comes out with and who gave him them.
The problem is that Brian has everything in his head and hasn;t recorded anything. All of us in Lincolnshire are very concerned about that, becuase we would like to get theses songs etc on record.

Tom Lane who does the Radio Lincolnshire folk program has managed to get 2 songs recorded which have been done especially for the charity CD's Yellowbellies 1 & 2.

Its really sad to think that all his knowledge may well be lost forever one day.
He is much loved up here in Lincolnshire and especially the WI.
He is a very good performer of traditional songs.
