22 Mar 04 - 08:42 AM (#1142835) Subject: Ian Harvey Pittaway From: GUEST,Welsh Weasel A couple of years ago at Baggeridge Festival I had the pleasure of seeing Ian Harvey Pittaway play. Being a bit strapped for cash I didn't pick up a cd, assuming I'd see him elsewhere. Typically I've heard nothing from or about him since which is a pity because he was brilliant. google's got nothing on him. Can anyone enlighten me? |

22 Mar 04 - 09:53 AM (#1142905) Subject: RE: Ian Harvey Pittaway From: MairSea I have his CD "Godifu" which according to the blurb was recorded at the Shakespeare Studios, Lichfield. We have seen him at the Lichfield FF on a few occasions. The blurb lists in the credits the Black Diamond Folk Club, Birmingham and Common Folk, Pelsall. Someone there may be able to lead you to him. I am sorry that I can't be more help as I think he has a fantastic voice and outlook on the songs he sings. |

18 Aug 04 - 07:10 PM (#1250864) Subject: RE: Ian Harvey Pittaway From: GUEST,It's me! I am Ian Pittaway, formerly Ian Harvey-Pittaway. I'm chuffed to read these nice things said about me. Three or four years ago I was on the way to considering going full time with the music. I didn't for a lot of reasons, which I won't go into here, but they included the precariousness both of not knowing if I would earn enough, partly due to my aptitude for picking up lots of bugs in the winter. I've now taken up the cittern, mandolin and lute (as well as my previous guitars) and am gigging infrequently. I am appearing soon at Rushwick village hall, Worcester, as a guest of Food and Folk, on 11 September. It would be lovely to see any of you there. Please introduce yourself to me if you go. For more details, call John Phillips of Food and Folk on 01905 640857. Cheers all! |

I still reckon that you are one of the best singers of traditional songs I've heard & look forward to a chance to see you again at some point. |

11 Feb 09 - 02:10 PM (#2564110) Subject: RE: Ian Harvey Pittaway From: GUEST,Lewis Sorry Ian, just realised that i said "didnt fail to dissapoint" above - I actually meant quite the opposite. I was so excited by seeing you and how good you were that i obviously lost the ability to spell and get the correct order of words out. Thinking about it, i think i actually lost the ability to speak for a few days after seeing you too as i was was just so amazed by the night. Can't wait to see you again :) |
