Anybody know WHO they are?
Sounds potentially interesting, but I would not like to find I'm paying cash to bandits who rob the original performers as happened with performers such as Nic Jones and many others.
Quack!!

Thanks Morticia

One of the albums is singer Eileen Carr's who sang in Salford on Saturday.

Wonderful singer!!

No doubt Ralphie will let us know of anything untoward.

John R...
Thanks for the thought, I'm not trying to set myself up as "Webmaster General" and the site looks really good. A download site for "Our sort of music" has to be a good thing..Lets see how it develops.
Best Wishes Ralphie
