Barnsley Lads: October 21st 2005
John Booker, Ray Padgett, Nigel Deakin, and re-joined by Bill Richardson.
Booker, long hair, white beard and usually wears Ray's trousers; favourite expression mine's a pint,
sings up to his weight when fuelled by beer, loves drinking songs - and drinking.
Padgett little legs
, song researcher and authority on Yorkshire songs; also Walter Pardon freak. Has long arms
and short pockets according to Booker, and who, he claims, must owe him hundreds of pints.
Deakin plays whistle from the dots, clever little person relied upon to supply the words when we forget ’em, loves gadgets, ask him about the magnet on a string and multi-purpose knife.
Richardson, the bairn back in the fold, nice guitar and harmonisation - odd Bogle - we are Bogling!! Also the odd self-penned.
They make a noise
is the only positive comment we have ever had - at least I think that's what was meant!
