Thread Name: Lyr Req: Stan Gee songs
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Stan Gee songs
The Stan Gee you want is definitely the, now deceased, one from Stockport. He was an old mate of mine and his musical compatriot, Arthur Ball, went to school with my father. I'm not aware that Stan ever wrote a song in his life.

Stan had an interest in Alderley Edge because of his connections with caving - he used to take tours around the old mines on the edge - Wood Mine and West Mine - I Know; I've been with him!

Can't be sure but a few of the Alderley and Wizard songs might have been written by "Joe" Beard - of Granny Takes A Trip fame (or is it infamy?) he used to live in Higher Poynton and if anyone can dig him out of the woodwork, I'd be interested to know.
