Thread Name: Identity Theft on last Mike Harding Show
Subject: Identity Theft on last Mike Harding Show
On Wednesday Mike Harding played The George Formby Snr parody of "My Grandfather's Clock" and said it was sung by Cockersdale but he couldn't find any details of which album it was from. This is not surprising as the track was sung by us (Pegleg Ferret) from our album "Not Fooling Anyone" Harbourtown Records HARCD 046. I don't know if Cockersdale or Mike Harding have our bank details and are raiding them and ordering vast amounts of useless stuff from Amazon or Ebay but we want our identity and attribution back!!!

Seriously if you're not one of the main performers on the folk scene it's very difficult to get the sort of publicity that airtime on the countrys leading folk programme generates and I feel that the wrong ought to be rectified.

I hope you mudcatters will support Pegleg Ferret in this and will help by contacting the Mike Harding Show to let them know of the Cockersdale cock up.
