Thread Name: Chester Folk Clubs???
Subject: RE: Chester Folk Clubs???
Like I said over on the Bellamy thread, I got into Randolph Caldecott via PB's The Fox Jumps Over The Parson's Gate album, the cover of which is based on that of RC's wee book of the same name which, as PB points out in the notes, furnished him with the song. I reunited the two in a wee YouTube film (HERE) using an online source, but have since bought the original - and many others which, surprisingly, aren't going to set you back that much...
Also in Chester yesterday a rake around the cathgedral to reacqaint myself with a few old friends including a Foliate Osama who resides amongst the fine medieval green men sculpture in the cloister. I actually had a picture of him in Fortean Times a few years ago, but nothing like as clear as this one.
