I wasn't lucky enough to be there but I saw the programme on the telly and thought it was great....but I've been trying, ever since, to find out the name of the song that Eliza Carthy sang on her own with her accordian (the filming just before she started was of a bowling green in slow motion. Does anyone know the name of the song?

I think it might have been 'Willow Tree' which is on her last album. If I'm wrong - it's a nice song anyway.

I agree it is a nice song but alas it isn't the one I'm thinking of.
Thanks anyway.

Apparently it's something called 'I Used to be Colourblind' composed by Irving Berlin, see thread on this subject on the Elizanet messageboard http://www.elizanet.org.uk/phorum/read.php?f=6&i=1599&t=1378

The Doghouse Skiffle Band was the support act at the Les Barker concert at the Ham Marquee. They proved to be a quite outstanding band, and very humourous to boot. The highlight of the act was when they ran through a verse of a song, then went into a perfect "rewind", singing the whole verse in reverse, then running it forward again to finish the song. They must have spent weeks learning the sounds from a reversed recording. The audience were wetting themselves. We'll be hearing a lot more of those lads in the future.
