The very same, Chris. Bob & Kathy are, as far as I know, quite well, although we see nothing of them at the singarounds at Broadstairs since they started charging for them! I think they may well buy a season ticket now, and go to the concerts instead! They are, I know, now editing the Kent folk magazine.

Perhaps you should consider coming back to Broadstairs Festival, even though no longer living in Kent - it just gets better and better!

All the best,
Barbara

And that would, perhaps, be Barbara Brown? Thanks for that; I've only ever heard it sung by Bob and Kath Drage, but never spoke to them about it or remembered anything but the chorus (probably 'cos I was singing it....). Since leaving Kent I haven't seen or heard of them -do you happen to know if they are both still well? Once again, thanks. Keep well,
Chris Nixon

Can be found on Peter Collins' CD 'Old Timer' HATCD019

And I was sure the original source was on one of the 'Voice of the People' CDs, but I can't find which one.

However, the original can certainly be found sung by Fred Whiting on 'Who Owns the Game?' VT130CD. Worth buying anyway.

Does anyone have the tune to hand? I can remember the tune to the chorus from a long time ago, but the verse is beyond memory. KYBTTS, Chris.
