The book is called Meet on the Ledge, and is published by (!) Eel Pie in London. It appears to be absolutely unobtainable on this side of the Atlantic. I have seen it, and it has lots of information and pictures and other necessities for the Fairport addict (there are a few). Those people enamoured of Fairport would also do well to look for Morris On, done by a motley bunch of Fairport regulars, occasionals, and other Electric Folk Names. It's now obtaiable from Carthage, reissued and better pressed. There's also Sone of Morris On, not as good but still not half bad. There's also The English Dancing Master, a similar compendium to some of the Morris On stuff, coordinated bt Ashley Hutchings. Indispensible, if you can find it. (Write to Carthage perhaps.) ...jon -------
