10 Apr 04 - 03:22 PM (#1158702) Subject: Remember Bryony? From: GUEST Remember Bryony? Three lasses who were very popular in the Eighties. They have reformed for a few gigs a year. One of which is at the Bothy Folk Club Southport tomorrow night (Easter Sunday). That's at the Shelbourne Hotel, Lord St West, Southport. They would be pleased to see you there. Les |
10 Apr 04 - 03:55 PM (#1158743) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? From: Herga Kitty They were at Haddenham Folk Day last December.... it'll be a good night at the Bothy. A (the?) reason they're only doing a few gigs is because they live so far apart. So it's a great treat when they get together. |
10 Apr 04 - 04:52 PM (#1158784) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? From: Ned Ludd Remember them? tell them to get in touch with me and I'll book 'em! apart from Owt else I need another copy of the cassette I wore out! How can I contact them? |
11 Apr 04 - 09:25 AM (#1159168) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? From: Geoff the Duck I'm pleased to hear that the girls are performimg together again. When they originally formed, I was a member of the committee of the Topic Folk Club in Bradford, and we were one of the clubs who booked Bryony before they became well known. They always did an entertaining evening. Quack! Geoff the Duck. |
11 Apr 04 - 01:59 PM (#1159326) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? From: LesB Ned, You can contact Alison Younger by contacting Chris Harvey / Pollington on the Strawhead Web site. Les |
12 Apr 04 - 01:43 AM (#1159648) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? From: Lancashire Lad Bryony...cassette . These are 2 words that made my ears prick up (ouch). I believe they issued a cassette only album on the Tradition century label. Ive been searching for this for years. Any chance you could give me a track listing Nedd? Yours hopefully LL |
12 Apr 04 - 01:44 PM (#1159982) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? From: Ned Ludd Thanks for that les, I'll be looking them up. I don't know if I still have it L.L. but I'll check for You. |
12 Apr 04 - 03:19 PM (#1160057) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? From: LesB They can do better than a cassete, in 2002 they reissued 'The Last of the Great Whales' on C.D. with 6 extra tracks. 'The Last of the Great Whales', from Cock Robin Music CRM 065 contact Chris at c.h.poll@btinternet.com if you want a copy. We had a great night at the Bothy with them last night with guest spots from Strawhead & mudcatter Mark Dowding. Cheers Les |
13 Apr 04 - 06:32 AM (#1160598) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? (UK folk group) From: Lancashire Lad Thanks for this Les. Ive dropped Chris an email, so hope to have the CD soon. Many thanks LL |
13 Apr 04 - 12:50 PM (#1160969) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? (UK folk group) From: Lancashire Lad Just heard back from Chris. The Bryony CD he put out is NOT a re-issue of the Tradition album. It is a re-issue of the LP made for Dragon. Some of the bonus tracks are re recorded live versions of tracks on the Tradition album. So my search for the cassette released on Tradition continues Can anyone help? LL |
13 Apr 04 - 06:09 PM (#1161211) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? (UK folk group) From: Ned Ludd Sorry had a look My copy is long gone...too many relationships ago! |

18 Apr 04 - 03:39 AM (#1164203) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? (UK folk group) From: GUEST,pdcawley I think my dad still has the tape that Cathy gave us all those years ago. It might have been stretched to buggery or eaten by a wayward player of course... |
21 Apr 04 - 04:52 PM (#1167245) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? (UK folk group) From: pdcawley And it turns out Gill had one too. I have it here (and after some passage of time with various A->D convertors) I have a bunch of MP3 files on my hard disc. I'd forgotten how jolly good the album was. |
22 Apr 04 - 04:07 AM (#1167674) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? (UK folk group) From: GUEST,padgett This was the York based group wasn't it, that had that lovely Hammered Dulcimer player in it called Ailsa, who was Scottish but worked as a journalist in nearby Malton, or have I completey lost the plot [again]!! Ray padgett |
22 Apr 04 - 02:05 PM (#1168209) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? (UK folk group) From: Geoff the Duck I believe that Ailsa was a journalist, Ray. She was good friends with one of the columnists who worked on the Bradford Star, a local free paper. We used to get good publicity for the Topic Folk Club from the Star. Quack!! Geoff. |
22 Apr 04 - 03:39 PM (#1168285) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? (UK folk group) From: Herga Kitty Yes, Ray - but now Cathy's based in the south of England, Alison in the northwest of England and Ailsa in Scotland.... |
24 Apr 04 - 09:17 AM (#1169668) Subject: RE: Remember Bryony? (UK folk group) From: Lancashire Lad Just a line to all who helped with finding the Bryony cassette. I picked one up from Alison and Chris the other night. So good to find it at last and well worth the wait. LL |
