The unreleased Belamy stuff lies languishing in the vaults of Celtic Music (Harrogate, Yorkshire) . . See any thread on Nic Jones for further info, or recent thread on Bob Fox and Stu Luckley, or do a deja news search for "Dave Bulmer" (usual expletives deleted).

As far as I know, all the Young Tradition material is available on CD, plus The Transports (which is Belamy's creation rather than his performance; "all-star cast" will cover it), the Topic recording of "Both Sides Then" (stunning version of "Amazing Grace") and the Free Reed box set which Abby reviews so well . .

As I recall, the final time we saw him "live" (when we, too, bought the "Fair Annie" tape) he commented that he'd had problems with the owners of the copyright of Kipling's work in getting permission to record his arrangements of the poems, which is why few of them made it to vinyl.

Oh, and we also had the great pleasure of seeing one of the few live performances of "The Transports" . . which was even better than the recording.
