Wow Norma’s gone off to see Mick n Lal & as she passed she broke my heart. I grew up wi punk n pistols but i woz camping out wi mi mates up fields & on the radio John Peel give me a taste of the Watersons but on my second night with Kershawi got Hilda’s cabinet band. & guess what i married a scottish lass called Hilda & when we signed the register we walked out of church to Mick, Lal and Norma singing Hilda’s cabinet band. Thank god the Watersons left an impression . Also send my love to Martin & Elizer xxxx
Jeez I thought I'd heard everything on YT by the Watersons but I'm elated to have(eventually) discovered this.11 comments and so few views is a travesty
Thanks. I actually now have the two missing tracks from the end of this, so I’ll be making a new, slight longer version soon. Been busy so haven’t had a chance yet, but keep an eye out and it should be up soon.
Hi folks. Its great to see London Folk Song Cellar here - at last. We have a collection of most of the episodes. However we are missing tracks from episodes 28, 31 and 36 featuring artists: LFSC 28 - The North West Three, Kathie MacDonald, Trevor Lucas, The Chiltern Ramblers. LFSC 31 - The Taverners, Sandy Denny ("Green grow the laurels"), Bob Cann, Don Partridge, The Leesiders. LFSC 39 - The Watersons, Sydney Carter, Tessa Clifford, Dave Swarbrick and Martin Carthy. Please PM me if you have either transcription discs or tapes of these from LFSC. Many thanks - Chris B.
Superb. Although I didn't see them live till the 70s, the Watersons' three original albums were an important part of my folk music education. One interesting thing I noticed here - on The Jolly Waggoner, they not only have a guitar (as on the record) but also a banjo. Does anyone know which of them played that?
If the Tories continually underfund state schools people with the means will send their children to the best schools they can. Obvious. What's less obvious is how to not be a sneering tool about the recently departed. That they don't teach.
This album is such a treasure! Thank you for posting! Walking through the forests on this is like stepping back in time.

My favourite singers for over 50 years
Love Mike Waterson's voice... wonderful harmonies. Music to my ears!
Mike's voice is so unique I love it and can spot it from miles
The sounds of my youth...

Great voices and great quality
what a treasure!
I remeber them from the Redditch Folk Cub in the 1960s. They visited at least 3 times and were, without any doubt, the favourite visitors.
Amazing - thank you for posting.

“To all you spectators where’re you may be”
Jarring is "White Hare of Howden" as no hill is nearer to that place than Holme on Spaulding Moor, and that halfway to Hull.
Norma Waterson such a great socialist that she sent her daughter to an exclusive public school😅
