Subject: RE: Review: The Songwainers
I knew Ted Duckett from many years ago in Hampshire. He lived in Hythe, Hampshire and would often come with Dave Williams and play his bones at The Fo'c'sle Folk Club in Southampton, where I was a resident singer. I was born in Totton, near by; and the pub our Guest is talking about is The Bold Forester in Marchwood.
He would often accompany a singer from the back of the room on his bones, NO matter what type of song you were singing!!
Ted was also a great Step Dancer and he was filmed by the Reading Cloggies; I am sure there is a copy in the library at Cecil Sharp House.
