Thread Name: If you have Field Recordings of Barry.Finn..
Subject: RE: If you have Field Recordings of Barry...
Hi, Neil
Are you the "Haddie" that was with Barry Finn in Scarborough many years ago, or was that Dan Schatz? I swapped our "Final Trawl" and Red Duster CDrs for one of Barry's CDs (and I wish I could find it now). Later on I managed to record Barry singing for me the CW-9 song which I believe you may have put the tune to (describes the fate of a misguided convoy along the south coast of England in WW2). Can be found here -

Don't know where that recording is at the moment, I'm in the middle of trying to get to where I can find and index all our recordings over decades.
I was so glad to have met Barry, his contributions to that thread were very welcome. Such a powerful singer, his death so soon after was a complete shock.
