I am a student on the folk and traditional music degree in Newcastle studying guitar and voice. I was just wondering if i could have permission to record a version of you're song "Five Pounds" and put it on my myspace. A friend of mine Dave Auld used to sing it, may i congratulate you on an excellent song!!!! |

Its already on Les' Myspace but if you want to record it that's fine as long as he's credited with writing it. Also do you want to be his "FRIEND" on Myspace, the extra words are there too. He has written an extra verse as HergaKitty and Derek said it was too short. Email to Les@howlingtoad.wanadoo.co.uk and we'd be delighted to speak to you. |

From: GUEST,Penny Black Quite right - Les will be at Fylde on 29th and 31st August - and we've cancelled everything else to make sure we're at both events... especially the 31st August :0) CU you next week at Fylde Pete & John |

25 Aug 07 - 05:21 AM (#2133226) Subject: RE: Is there a Les Sullivan out there? From: Frogette thank you for cancelling everything else. Les has decided to buy a new string for his guitar in your honour but can't decide if it should be one of the thick ones or one of the thin ones. |

25 Aug 07 - 07:38 AM (#2133248) Subject: RE: Is there a Les Sullivan out there? From: Frogette I have checked my piggy bank and it contains the following ..thirty eight pence three buttons one threepenny bit and a 1942 anti gas dressing so I guess ill have to use the same old strings plus ca change! see you soon Les. |

25 Aug 07 - 08:51 AM (#2133267) Subject: RE: Is there a Les Sullivan out there? From: GUEST,Penny Black Les, don't worry about strings - I'm boiling you up a set of my old ones - one careful owner less than 100,000 plucks (kept for such an emergency) - thick and thin! See you Wednesday - even buy you a pint - so bring the anti gas dressing :0) Pete |

From: Herga Kitty PS I think Dave Auld got his version from my recording with MCP (Dark the Day), in which case the words (especially for the last verse) will be different from the version recorded by Les on Echoes of Mingulay.
