Thread Name: Canal songs (UK)
Subject: RE: Canal songs (UK)
Just to repeat a previous submission a biography of Ian Woods from a European source is on the internet.
Further to John's previous submission I would like to repeat my request for any canal related material from the 'Ballads of the Northwest'. Coincidently I was in McTavish's Kitchen in Fort William in 1976 (with Scottish folk entertainment along with the steak). Also I worked in the UMIST Chemistry Department in the early 1970's and I believe that a member of Canny Fettle was working in the lab next door. I don't know who and may be wrong but it would be nice to find out. The Songs of the Inland Waterways web-site now contains 92 songs and in my push to get to 100 I have contacted some of the people kindly suggested by Mudcatters. Replies have been limited and I think my e-mails may be getting Junked. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Ian
