04 Jul 06 - 07:22 AM (#1775446) Subject: RE: Folklore: Rosemary and Hugh Gentleman From: Kevin Sheils The names are all familiar to me, but not heard for some years. Rosemary and Hugh conjure up a picture of a well dressed gent in a suit with a well trimmed beard (I guess that would be Hugh!) Roger Knowles is linked in my memory with Nick Strutt and also Pete Stanley, but some years back now. If I could recall which box my old copies of "Spin", "Folk Review", "Sing", "Club Folk" etc were in I could probably dig out photos. |

I lost touch with them when they moved to Scotland. I still have recordings of "Lay the bent", "Come here me little Jackie", "I never will marry", "Jenny Jenkins", Matty Grove", and others. I should love to see them again. |

They hadn't sung in years, and I couldn't get them to, but they had a great record collection, and were very supportive of my record-collecting and performing in the local folk clubs in Edinburgh (I, a 20-year-old American). They sent me Christmas cards for years, but I haven't heard from them lately. |
