29 Aug 21 - 08:43 AM (#4118162) Subject: Plaque for Lal Waterson, Hull, 5 SEPT From: GeoffLawes Next Sunday,5th September at 3.00pm, there will be the unveiling of a commemorative plaque at 160 Park Avenue, where Lal Waterson lived 1968-1976. Lal’s family, including Oliver Knight ,Marry Waterson, and Norma Waterson will be there, and if they can get back in time from a gig in Scotland, Eliza and Martin Carthy will also be there. Everyone is welcome. We hope that there will be some singing so bring your chorus voice. The house ,160 Park Avenue, is where Lal wrote some of the songs for “Bright Phoebus” and the incident which prompted Red Wine & Promises occurred at the end of the street near Pearson Park.

Will have a look soon when I am next in Hull. Pity this thread has been demeaned by the anonymous prat who posted a dig at Dave Bulmer's family. The man has been dead 8 years and despite his perceived faults did one hell of a lot for traditional music. Don't suppose the family are avid followers of mudflap but then who could blame them? |

05 Sep 21 - 12:19 PM (#4118914) Subject: RE: Plaque for Lal Waterson, Hull, 5 SEPT From: GeoffLawes Thanks to all Mudcatters who came. Yes Guest ,it was very good, with a good crowd. Martin and Eliza drove from Scotland in time to catch it all. The "speeches" from Marry ,Ollie, Norma, Eliza and George were just right; I liked Norma's story about bashing Lal on the head with a banjo. And the singing of " Some Old Salty" led by the family was tremendous with a good take up of the chorus by the assembled crowd. |

07 Sep 21 - 08:26 AM (#4119085) Subject: RE: Plaque for Lal Waterson, Hull, 5 SEPT From: GeoffLawes Yes Steve, I'm starting to look in to it. I discovered this about Blue Plaques "Outside London, many local councils, civic societies and other organisations run similar plaque schemes. English Heritage piloted a national project between 2000 and 2005, but found that much of the ground had already been covered, so we decided to retain the London-only focus."https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/about-blue-plaques/ So we have to look locally to get a plaque put up at the Blue Bell. |
