The Pendlefolk
Well
I guess anyone who was around the folk club scene in the 1960's will
remember the Pendlefolk, who were the resident artists at Burnley
Folk Club. In those days it was hosted at the Burnley Cricket Club
on a Thursday night and was always full to the brim.
Group members were: Roger Westbrook, Chris Westbrook, Peter Nash,
Jean Douglas and Diane Whitford. Recently I found the LP which they
recorded in 1970 at the Stordy Swiss Roll factory at Nelson. Warped,
cracked and rather the worse for wear over the years, I have managed
to recover a few selected tracks from the album and are presented
in mp3 format below. If anyone ever comes across a decent copy then
please let me know. I apologise in advance if I am infringing anyone's
copyright, however the LP is virtually impossible to obtain now and
it's a shame if people cannot listen and recollect just how good this
group were. They bring back many happy memories, (if not slightly
inebriated ones) for me.
