Subject: RE: Review: The Songwainers
Happy days of large record companies with large budgets taking an interest in folk music.

Kevin Daly had moved up to producer by the time I got to Decca with the Druids. Their 'folk stable' at that time consisted of Ewan and Peggy, The Yetties, Vic Gammon's Garret Singers, and (I think) The Clutha or one of those Scottish trad groups. Fred Woods had moved on to his magazine - Folk Review.

I got the Songwainer's album from Decca as a comp and it's always been one of my favorites. I picked up a privately digitised CD copy in Oz a couple of years ago. In the absence of a commercially available CD I'll keep an eye out for it and dub you a copy - it can't be too far away.
