Now the thread is converged from two different threads there is more confusion. I am seeking a recording by Steve Benbow of the Black Velvet Band - Wapping / London version. If anyone knows of any please let me know. Thank you.

Guest, CJB- A Steve Benbow "Black Velvet Band" version is available as a vintage LP on eBay right now, here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Steve-Benbow-Sings-I-Travel-The-World-CLP-1687-Mono-Vinyl-LP-Album-/390921505994?pt=UK_Records&hash=item I cannot tell from the information there whether this is the London Folk Song Cellar no. 12 Wadding version, however. Perhaps you will be able to ascertain if it's the correct one.

[b]maeve[/b] - thank you for the alert re: eBay. This is good too because it names a potential LP and also gives a track list.

Meanwhile here is Steve's website:

Thanks - just an update - I managed to digitise the song I was after - "Black Velvet Band" Wapping (East London version). The words are not recorded on Mudcat.

On London Folk Song Cellar 12A one of the clipped tracks at the end of our tape (a cassette turnover event) is Steve Benbow singing a rare London version of 'Black Velvet Band.'

It is available here for folks to copy down the words for Mudcat etc. There are FLAC and MP3 (192kbps) versions.

Does anyone happen to know Steve’s kids names? I am a distant cousin, looking for relatives. Any help would be great!

Is Richard Benbow who used to gig in Somerset in 1980s-90s any relation?
He had an album called "I am a pilgrim".

@JohnMacKenzie

The site isn't going to give you viruses by itself. It's a media-sharing site though I can't promise the upload is safe. Lots of experience with it.
