Thread Name: Pennine Folk '70's?
Subject: RE: Pennine Folk '70's?
My posting mentioned above was actually to this forum somewhere. I'll be having a meal with Chris Swann at Christmas. The impressive head of hair has been swapped for an impressive girth He still plays the guitar and still has his old Levin. He's now a full time artist with a studio in Vernon Mill in Stockport producing some stunning lanscapes that sell well.

There were many other members of the group. Pete Astles and Judith?? were two when Lynton and Anne left. Also Henry Bell a business partner of Chris's. There were one or two other occasionals when a jazzier sound was added towards the groups end.

Chris later went on to be part of an exceptional trio called Sunwheel, that won a Melody Maker competition. Anne Chester and his mate Rob Carrol(?). Anne had first appeared as a floor spot at the Hyde United. She went back to America (Denver?)where she later appeared as a DJ on a local station, I believe. Their rendition of CArrie was a showstopper

Cheryl Gibbons then joined. They released a single dedicated to Red Rum.
