When Linda and myself were down there the other year, we had a few drinks in the "Ring 'O Bells" in memory of "The old Bugger". |

Click on "Search the Sound Archive Catalogue" and search for "Wadebridge": you'll find references to some recordings made in The Swan in the 1960s (including one of Mervyn Vincent) as well as some others made in The Ship in the 1990s, in case they're of interest. |

The 2 girls that you ask about were Sylvia and Rowena, who still sing together and are now part of Thorn and Roses who you asked about in another thread! Cheers, Lucy |
