Total Time ::: 1:27:24

::: Distant but consistent & clear, with a bit o' rumble. Check samples for no folk or more folk from Norfolk.
::: Warts: Repaired dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few. Some rumble. Intermittent low level capstan(?) noises at times but fixed loud ones & they ain't bad. Bit o' singalong (NOT an issue!) in #13,24,35.
::: Recorded less than a year before his death, 24 September 1991.
::: One of the most influential UK folkies of the 20th century.
::: Bellamy played with The Young Tradition w/Royston&Heather Wood & recorded albums with Shirley Collins, Louis Killen a.o. He made 17 solo LPs from 1968-1991, as well as recording the Britfolk landmark work, "The Transports" w/the cream of Britfolk society.
::: Horsham is on the upper reaches of the River Arun on the fringe of the Weald in West Sussex.

Recording Information ::: unknown mono portable cassette recorder -> master cassette -> unknown digital transfer -> wav.

Remastering 2018-04-xx ::: wav -> Audacity [fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch, bump, pop, click, clap, cough, dropout & dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, -0.9 averaged pitch (speed) fix with single pass after frequency analysis & with pitchpipe verification, NO equalisation or noise reduction] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. NOTE: Recording was 2 channel mono & R channel had problems, so this is remastered from the left channel only. First uploaded 2018-04-xx.

Line-up ::: Peter Bellamy - Anglo concertina, vocals, unparalleled commentary.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 413 ::: MANY thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: QUITE rare to have a full evening's performance turn up by this gent. The taper notes that the first set is very like the first part of "Songs & Rummy Conjurin' Tricks" (Bellamy's final album), which is not too surprising as the concert for that LP/CD was recorded maybe 2 months after the Horsham gig. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
