Hi christy,
Can i just say how fabulous it is to have old Dagrab back on board as a 4711er.
Always fascinating, rarely off piste, musically knowledgeable and an authentic old hand.
You have a great range of contributors, from Germany and beyond, but the old sufragette himself was sorely missed during his technological trauma.

Thru the chair….may I second the remarks from our learned Hawick correspondant when he pays tribute to our man in Suffragette City
In the record shop today, an LP jumped out of the rack…now had a few spins.
1965 issue of Pete Seeger and Bill Broonzy in concert…brilliantly recorded by Folkways in the US and a UK release by Transatlantic Xtra. Such a vibrant gig with power,banter and humour…hard to believe that Broonzy died a few months later in August 1958.
Some tracks are on YouTube and worth a search…in the 1960s,Bill Leader was with Transatlantic Records and wrote introductory sleeve notes for this release. Cover photos by Brian Shuel….another veteran class act.
Hi Christy
After recent posts,I thought I’d best stop droning on about the Manchester mosaic trail…I was going to stick to the resolution until I (very belatedly) explored the mighty Afflecks Palace (Northern Quarter of city centre)and found the Morrissey mosaic.
After the stairs,I was drawn to signs for cafe and “Vinyl Resting Place’…not only a great name,but an amazing record shop.Out of similar city centre places,this place has the best folk selection,sensibly priced….so,this ramble is a tip off,for readers who might visit…have a great wander,finish up on the third floor. Get a vinyl fix and slump over a coffee,like yours truly!

Great to hear some magic from a golden era…
