Did you ever meet Roger Green?

@@annegreen6748 I'm sorry Anne but my memory is not what it was, and I can't say that I did. However, if he was a regular at the Cock then there is a good chance that we did meet, as I was friendly with the organisers there and we met up at several venues including the Swan at Worcester the Nags Head Malvern, and at the ceilidh dances at Greenstreet Farm in Hallow.

@@brianac37 OK. It was worth a try. Thank you.

is traditional

Very much English traditional.

it's the saddest truth that money is now the measure. These two are massively talented. It's a sound that I honestly believe cannot be equaled. I'm afraid the good old days really were best.

Charing Cross Rd? Was that Dobell's? That whole block were Dobell's was situated is long gone. I used to love Collett's when it was in Oxford St or New Oxford St

Exactly - wonderful to hear this again for the first time in years. I must have bought this album about the same time you did. I saw them perform at a little folk club above a pub near Manchester - the room was packed with maybe forty people (gasp). The club was run by Mike Harding (when he was a folk-singer who joked between songs, rather than a comedian who occasionally sang), and he had lots of friends come by to play there and at local folk weekends - Nic Jones, Rosie Hardman, Tony Rose, Dave & Toni Arthur, as well as local talent . THE thing I've remembered about this song all these years is the (dare I call it dis-harmony?) on the word "Blues" or "too" at the end of each verse - striking!

I live in USA but originally from UK. I used to take my holidays to London in the 1970's and 1980's. I absolutely love this duo. I only have one of their albums but not the one with the song you mentioned called "The Waters of Tyne." Is there any chance you could upload this song here on KZbin? I cannot find any of their album here. Thank you.

Gregory Culpin hide and seek. They were playing around the cherry trees too then they chased each other across to the walnut.

@@annegreen6748 I knew so many folkies back in the 1960/70's that names escape me. Any particular venue?

@@grahammorris6235 Pubs around the Midlands. He lived at Redditch. (Before I met him, in Australia) I just wondered, it being a small world and all that :)

@@annegreen6748 I think he may have been one of Alan Bremners mates (?). Alan lived near the Tardiebig (Spelling!) public house, on the Redditich road. I was at Greenmore Collage with Alan and I think, just maybe, the three of us sometimes used the folk clubs around Bromsgrove ?

@@grahammorris6235 Alan's name isn't one I recall him mentioning but it is quite likely your paths crossed at some point. Thanks for taking time to reply.

Bought this album when it first came out. Never tired of hearing it.
