Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Farewell Manchester
Sorry, Frieda, but Harry's CD did not include 'Farewell Manchester'. All the songs were written by him.

I wanted the complete words because the Earl of Stamford Morris dance Lichfield 'Ring o'Bells' to the tune - watch video... I'm Chief Musician, and can be seen in the video playing accordion - and rotating at the end!

As for Harry, he and his family disappeared mysteriously not long after the CD was completed, and hasn't yet paid me for my time and trouble... nothing sinister, they just decided they didn't want to be btohered with anyone. His last visit to the Open Door Folk Club (at the Star Inn, Failsworth at the time) was on his 50th birthday.

I will happily sell anyone a copy of the CD for £7.50 GBP including postage, PM me with your details or Google bernard cromarty and email me via my website. As I did the original duplication, it's easy enough for me to make them to order.
