Lyr Req: Les Barker poems and songs

From: John Hardly

I've found a number of his parodies in the digitrad but I'm interested in whether any of you have a link to a site of his poetry. I was talking with a friend last night who'd never heard him and I was hoping to send a sampling. I've googled to no avail so far.

Thanks for the help!

You can try a search on Mrs Ackroyd for information about the band....

If everybody starts doing his brilliant stuff, half of my repertoire will become old hat. (the other half is already)

John: once you get to his site, you can order any of his previous books. He also does a mailing list which sends the books out as they are produced.

And DON'T forget, Les DOES make his living by SELLING his books and CDs, and by performing; so let's support this brilliant guy by putting some business his way!
