Thread Name: Recordings by Bill Price
Subject: RE: Recordings by Bill Price
Main one is "Fine Old Yorkshire Gentleman" with what I feel is the definitive version of this song and is still being sung by his two daughters Ruth Price and Sadie Greenwood, the 'tina accompaniment is brilliant and played now by his daughters

There are a number of traditional Yorkshire songs on here too

Bill also made another album which featured the harmony group "Squire" and has Barretts Privateers, one of the first of Stan Rogers songs to escape Canada and a version of "Drinks Round me boys"

Ruth has a website with Bill Price link (his name as hyperlink)

he was a great guy was Bill

Wendy Price now lives in Whitby and plays melodeon for Persephone, sings and may have some of Bill's records somewhere still, tho' ebay would cost the earth I think!
