Mainly Norfolk
His first solo album "Mainly Norfolk" (1968) indicated his desire to promote the folk music of his native part of England. Harry Cox, still alive at that time, was the most famous singer of Norfolk songs. Peter accompanied himself on the anglo concertina and guitar. Although he often sang blues on bottleneck guitar, these rarely appeared on his albums. It wasn't until his eighth album in 1975 that he recorded his own compositions. In the same year he recorded a collection of Rudyard Kipling's Barrack Room Ballads. Peter was that rare creature, the right-wing folk singer. One of his ancestors, Surgeon-Commander Bellamy, had served with Nelson. Having mastered the art of putting new words to a traditional song and his own words to a traditional tune, he then wrote a ballad-opera "The Transports".
It was a huge act of faith for the Free Reed record label to produce this. Many prominent names in the folk scene collaborated on the project - Dolly Collins (a composer, the sister of Shirley), Martin Carthy, Norma Waterson, June Tabor, Nic Jones, A.L. Lloyd, Cyril Tawney and Dave Swarbrick. It told the story of the early transportation ships, taking convicts to Australia. In 2004 it was re-released together with a new production involving Simon Nicol and Fairport Convention. Another ambitious project "The Maritime Suite" was broadcast on BBC Radio 2 but never issued on record.
All records will be sent in professional mailers with two cardboard stiffeners. The lp will be removed from the sleeve to protect it during transit. I will always obtain a certificate of posting for each parcel.
It is recommended that you use the Recorded/Special delivery (UK) or International Signed For (Rest of World) postal options to insure the item against damage or loss. I cannot take responsibility for the package once it is in the hands of the postal service using the basic 1st class or Air Mail service (uninsured).
I would prefer PayPal, if possible, from non UK bidders. For UK based bidders, PayPal would be the best option, otherwise a cheque or postal order may be acceptable. Please contact me if in doubt.
