Subject: RE: Jim Eldon Appreciation Society
Jim appeared at the Yorkshire Garland Luanch on Sep 15th in York at the NCEM for us

He is most certainly a total one off, National Treasure ~ could be!

He has fans certainly high up the folk hiarachy, even though he can mostly be seen on the boats at Bridlington! entertaining in his own way

A collector story teller singer and scratchy fiddler with his own selection of songs, also Lynnette clogging

His vinyl entitled " I wish there was no Prisons"

His Lady of York (Cruel Mother) version is totally succinct and movingly haunting
