Thread Name: Help: Who was Albert Shaw?
Subject: RE: Help: Who was Albert Shaw?
Albert Shaw was a frequent visitor to the Painters Arms folk club in Cosely in the 1970s. He definitely had two arms! A friend and I went to record him in his living room one Sunday morning, he sang half a dozen songs, one being The Young Sailor Cut Down in His Prime. He also sang Miss Tickle Tovey onto the Tape, but would only sing it if I went out of the room while he did so! He had a fine strong voice and kept pitch well, and sung with a lovely Quarry Bank/Cradley accent. I remember him as being a really lovely man. Caroline
