If you're in touch with Doug, Sheev...
...you might tell him I have 2 unheard/uncirculated full sets and 2 interval-act appearances by HM, in mono, on reel to reel, from a folk club in Kent spanning 1971-74. If he or anyone else in HM wants digitised copies to release or do with as they please, they're welcome to get in touch....
Col
- you're a legend! What a wonderful thing to have and what a kind offer. You are a one-man treasure trove and all round good egg.
But no - not in touch - just pursuing my current interest in all matters folk. Just idly Googled Hunter Muskett. Weirdly, no Wiki entry for them but Googling led me to Doug's site and the news above.
Must say - have had a lovely afternoon - with The Light and the Lids out and doing my blokey version of multi-tasking . To wit - watching rugby/listening to obscure folk records/eating a pork pie/drinking beer/blogging here - and your post has topped off a jolly pleasurable afternoon
Over to you Colin - to weave your magic with the Muskett chaps
One needs a nudge in the right direction...
...Sheev. But having had yours I've just emailed the Mortmeister offering him said trove of goodies, to release or do with as he may please.
Maybe I should put the opposite of a 'rare recordings wanted' ad on this forum [I'm thinking out loud: so, yes, I'll do it now!] and see if anyone here who may be in touch with original purveyors of any amount of said rare recordings (ie pretty much the whole of the UK folk scene who might have played in Kent c1971-75 and a load of icons who played in Scotland 1963-66) would like to put them in touch with me...
(sound of man getting coat and moving towards starting a new thread - which he may well live to regret...)
