The Wilson family from Hull. Folksong ‘it should be a story set to music’. Improvising words. Always performs ‘The farmers toast’ [Roud Folk Song Index No. 1603] to the same words. Going to Sidmouth ‘either Fred or I used to finish off the night’. Meeting Packie Byrne ‘Packie had had just enough whisky to be amusing’ and was telling a song as a story. Ben Campbell. Other festivals and clubs. Hasn’t been to Whitby. Never been invited to Dartmoor. Regarding musicians Bob ‘didn’t like anybody taking any shine off him’, though he invited Ashley Hutchings, Dan Quinn and others after appearing on records with them. Being booked with Fred Jordan for Swindon. Not worried when the festivals can’t pay him much ‘If we only thought about what we were going to get out, not what we were going to give, it wouldn’t last very long’. Has a very high regard for Alastair the bagman with the Great Western Morris who came to visit him when he heard that he was ill. 1995-03-04 Drewsteignton, Devon, England, UK English sound Hill, Charlie (speaker, male) Patten, Bob (speaker, male) Patten, Jacqueline (speaker, female) Patten, Bob Patten, Jacqueline 44100 16 00:10:46 44100 16 00:10:46 44100 16 128 kbps 00:10:46 44100 16 192 kbps
