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.
