Hi guys thanks for the responses
I have about a dozen reel to reel tapes of various folk clubs in and around Manchester from 1964 ish. They were recorded on a four track machine but not by me. I seem to recall an old bloke with a pipe, nursing a whisky, in the club and I think he made the recordings, of which mine are probably copies. War on Want concert is one, Spinners at FSNW is another. All interspersed with copies of tapes of traditional singers from when I spent some time down at Peg Seeger and Ewan McColls place, Topic records etc.
I could make .wav files of them if anyone thinks they might be interesting - again I must emphasise, the original recordings were not made by me, so they are probably well circulated anyway.
Terry borrowed the recorder one day and he recorded some talking and general family stuff which is on one of the tapes - lots of kids talk including Gavan.
Cheers

Colin
