Subject: RE: Whose Mark Dowding ? From: GUEST,Mathew Ferrari Date: 03 Jun 15 - 06:06 AM Ahh I was trying to figure out where I knew that name from. Since Les mentioned Lancashire it reminded me of Mark Dowding's wonderful version of the "Lancashire Liar" I would love to see a pig kill near 200 people. Mathew |
Subject: RE: Whose Mark Dowding ? From: Les in Chorlton Date: 03 Jun 15 - 08:18 AM Intrestin Mathew, "I would love to see a pig kill near 200 people." Any particular people - perhaps you could name a few. |

Subject: RE: Whose Mark Dowding ? From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler Date: 04 Jun 15 - 05:06 AM I now think of Mark as "The man in black", as we both turned up in black shirts and trousers when I was support act to him at the Barlow, not planned, just coincidence. Robin |
Subject: RE: Whose Mark Dowding ? From: GUEST,alex s no cookie Date: 07 Jun 15 - 07:21 AM I was at a party last night and Mark sang. Tasty guitar playing and a pretty good Geordie accent too (not bad for a Lancashire lad). Go and see him if you can. |
Subject: RE: Whose Mark Dowding ? From: Mark Dowding Date: 07 Jun 15 - 10:49 AM I'm at Swinton Folk Club at the White Lion tomorrow night (8th June) |

Subject: RE: Whose Mark Dowding ? From: Dave the Gnome Date: 08 Jun 15 - 01:26 PM Yes - Just noticed tonight at Swinton Folk Club - Would have been there had I have still been in Swinton! When are you at the other Monday club with a very similar name, Mark? - Only 2 letters different, Skipton! I may have moved 40+ miles but I like to keep my folk clubs consistent :-) |
Subject: RE: Whose Mark Dowding ? From: Brian Peters Date: 08 Jun 15 - 05:51 PM Mark is great - the best interpreter around of Harry Boardman's Lancashire repertoire, but also a fine performer in his own right. |
Subject: RE: Whose Mark Dowding ? From: Mark Dowding Date: 08 Jun 15 - 08:03 PM Dave - I did Skipton in May so I'm afraid you've missed that one. You missed a good night at Swinton tonight as well! Brian - Thanks for that. |
