Thread Name: Origin: Song for Ireland (Phil and June Colclough)
Subject: RE: Info on 'Song for Ireland' (Colclough)
In answer to the first request. I am in agreement with Greg that they were Staffordshire based.
Phil and June were regulars in the Soke on Trent Folk clubs in the 1960s and 70s. When Phil retired from the sea he became a fireman in Newcastle under Lyme (I think) and lived in Audley. I think they both had family in the area. Phils grandfather came from Shropshire the adjacent county.
