Hi all,
Just been down to Whitby for the weekend and in The Fleece a chap sang a song and all I can realy remember are the words ' I don't want to lose you again'
I wish I had asked him then what tghis song was but place was very busy. Any one know of it please?

Best regards

Barry

Well, it might be HELLO OLD FRIENDS by Donald T. McMahon, 1980.

But really, "I don't want to lose you again" is a pretty generic phrase that occurs in lots of songs.

This Google search might help you find it.

Hi Jim,
It's not that, but 'Hello Old Friends' looks interesting anyway. On thinking back the song I heard was basically about losing a loved one and wanting them back but 'not wanting to lose them again'

Hello again Joe,
No I'm afraid not. Ireally wish I had asked at the time as it really touched a nerve. Ah well, I'm sure he will be there next year.

Thanks again
