Thread Name: anybody remember 'Ranting Sleazos' trio?
Subject: RE: Ranting Sleazos
Thanks to you all! You don't know how much all that means to me, and anyone who has a damaged copy of the album let me know and i'll see if 'The Estate' can't come up with a decent cd copy for you all (me dad hates it when i call him that!).

In order then - Yes, I and my good lady sister Ruth are the "scurvy, spotty, idle crew" referred to in the song, incidentally, we got over the spots... Thanks Sylvia.

Pat's wake was actually held at the Magazine pub, and she lived just down the road from it. I think it was the folding of the folk club had her lose touch with alot of her friends there, the ones who weren't regulars without the music? Certainly after the folk club closed you would never see her drinking there.

One of my favourite pictures of Pat was taken by a friend of hers as she cuts that wire at Capenhurst, looking for all the world like the cat that got the cream - it's on my wall. There was a riot, too, at Risley while she was there, she denied all responsibility, naturally, but we all know better don't we?

Thanks again to you all.
