"not near Chorlton on Saturday...."
I wish, Les.... wonder if my old flat in Kepple Road is still there (I assume you are in C-Cum-Hardy and not On-Medlock or any other outlandish backwater!)
I heard that Con 'Fada' and Adam McNaughtan met last year and there was talk of bringing them together for a few performances here in Ireland - nothing came of it unfortunately.
There's a small book of Con's songs entitled 'The Spoons Murder - and other mysteries', accompanied by a CD; well worth looking out for - it includes his magnificent 'Ben Hur'.
