Subject: RE: Harry Boardman - Golden Stream CD
Well done from me too - happy days
I seem to remember a feller with a tape recorder who recorded many of Harry's performances in those days - Leslie ????? (maybe not)
I remember him promising Terry Whelan some of his recordings - Terry was somewhat bemused at what he sent
Knowing his taste for Hammer Films, the recordist sent him a recording of a howling pack of wolves

My favourite memory of Harry was when he was booked at Manchester Uni (the Toastrack)
He had a tendency to rise in pitch in longer songs and this night he launched into a blasted out 'Flying Cloud'. not noticing the two hippies sitting at the back of the stage lighting up a splif
As Harry gradually rose in pitch, they managed to set the back curtains on fire, so he finished his song in a 'blaze of glory' literally
