Hello Ewan - thank you so much for making these recordings available and easily accessible. This is a fascinating collection. Ray developed the sound of the mill using fingertips and elbow on the back of her guitar placed on her knee - when singing 'I Am A Miller Tae Ma Trade'. Interesting to hear The Stewart Girls and the sound of the mill they use. Brings back many memories of Ray - and The Bridge in Newcastle, and Archie regularly visiting The Marsden Inn, South Shields - I believe the Fisher Family lived in Monkseaton for a while.
I'd like to use a couple of tracks for my monthly radio folk show - (Roving Folk - the 4th Sunday Folk Show on Phoenix FM - and on t'internet) if you don't mind.
I gave a brief mention to 'They Sang Bonny' in the last show.

With all good wishes - Ken.
