The entry in BBC Genome for BBC Radio 2 14th June 1982 for Folk on 2, reads "Jim Lloyd introduces Layteek, Caddtck and Bond from the Towersey Festival," (which is of course a mis-type by the BBC, for Laycock Caddick, and Bond). According to my notebook this recording from Towersey was part of a performance of "A Duck on His Head".

The songs broadcast were Winter Quarters / Walk Up / Three Brass Balls / Firey Hoops / Captain Valiant

Caddick Laycock & Bond broadcast on Richard Digance and Friends (London's Capital Radio) on a Sunday in September 1980 playing: fairground organ / miss elle / stay on the line /circus lullaby / see me up see me down / little billie on parade Caddick Laycock, and Bond also broadcast a set of songs entitled "The Man Who Walked Through Walls" on Richard Digance and Friends. My notebook dates this as 1982-06-13, but as this was just one day before the Folk on 2 broadcast I suspect an error in my note keeping. (That said 13th of June was a Sunday that year and the Digance show was broadcast on Sunday evenings ...)

I was able to find a copy of the LP "A Duck on His Head" on Discogs last year. It wasn't too expensive.

Can anyone tell me if The Man Who Walks Through Walls was put onto an LP ? Please PM if you have any information.
