Subject: Help with 'Prestigious Folk Artists' From: Vic Smith Date: 26 Feb 15 - 07:15 AM Stuart Reed has drawn my attention to an article in the Brighton newspaper, "The Argus". It begins:-
I am delighted that Henry - Horsham's finest - is being remembered and celebrated in this way but could someone help with information about the other two 'prestigious folk artists'? Did they do gigs as a duo? Did they front a folk/rock band? |

Subject: RE: Help with 'Prestigious Folk Singers' From: Musket Date: 27 Feb 15 - 09:30 AM I shouldn't have referred to Vaughan Williams as an artist, after all "composer" is a distinguished title in itself. That said, his contribution to collecting, standardising and saving traditional tunes is about as "up there" as you can get. |
Subject: RE: Help with 'Prestigious Folk Singers' From: Mysha Date: 27 Feb 15 - 09:31 PM Hi Vic, As I read it, it's about, Henry Burstow, and other prestigious folk artists, and a composer, and a collector, making five or more people in all. Will you let us know after the concert who these unnamed artists were (assuming you're going)? Bye Mysha |

Subject: RE: Help with 'Prestigious Folk Singers' From: FreddyHeadey Date: 28 Feb 15 - 05:32 PM I couldn't find it in the Argue pages but if anyone is interested it's the 28th March in Horsham. Shame newspapers can't learn to just cut and paste rather than add their own spin on things. |

Subject: RE: Help with 'Prestigious Folk Singers' From: GUEST,Stuart Reed Date: 01 Mar 15 - 04:37 PM The Brighton Argus is indeed an august journal. Among its previous noteworthy headlines: LOCAL WOMAN HURLS TRUMPETS AT DUCKS and WINDOW CLEANER KILLED BY GIANT PENCIL |
