I can add to the idea that that Bert Lloyd gave them a lot of material. They also sought out traditional singers though this was not a great source of material for them.

Bob Pegg (I think it was) wrote a scathing review of the sleeve notes to Yorkshire Garland in a little known magazine that I think was called "Abe's Music" pointing out that most of the notes were a complete horlicks. I think that might have been Bert really as well.

They were and are the loveliest of people (Mike a bit of a hypochondriac and Lal was a bit reclusive and really did not like being on the road). Wished I had as few faults.
