Spare Hands (Hull) have recorded 2 of the Broadside's songs, Fiddler's Green on our trawling album, and Lincoln Castle by Bill on our waterways album, and I am proud to say I'm in possession of their book The Singing River. We do have some cracking songs north of the river but we're not averse to pinching good south bank songs.

Little story regarding John:
My father-in-law the late Goff Sherburn of Goole (Chris's dad) many years ago asked John if he would sing Fiddler's Green, his favourite song, at his funeral. When Goff passed a few years ago one of the family rang John and asked him if he would come and sing. John's response was immediate and typical of the man we love, 'You try and stop me. I never renege on a booking!'
