You haven't played the nose-flute, then?

   No, its what frightens the dogs on Bunfire Nicht.

Wasn't Sodden Bungs one of those British rock/blues bands from the 60s?

   BUT it's not the county, it's the Kingdom! Thus Mercian, Northumbrian,
   Cambrian etc! We had a Golden age once long ago!  Jim Grant.

Probably Basil Clough then - her husband. Without having looked at 
it. They produced one LP in the late 50s, called Dreams of 
Northumbria - I got my copy for a very small cost on Tynemouth 
market.


Basil was involved with the NPS at a low point in its fortunes. He 
joined the committee in 1941, became vice-chair in 1947, and was 
chair from 1951-5, handing over to Bill Stafford.


Their daughter still plays and is a member. She has his rather 
spectacular ivory pipes.


Hope this helps
