It is difficult to get Brian by phone as he doesn't answer. Best way to talk with Brian is at a gig.
However thanks for the tip. Could be useful if nobody can help on Mudcat.

Has your friend made contact with Brian Dawson, repository of vast amounts of Lincolnshire folk knowledge?

Is he still alive?
If so is he contactable?
Anybody know if there are any recordings of him?

Many thanks
