About the Book

Two young South Yorkshire Singer/Musicians; Danny Clarke from Cudworth, a mining village Near Barnsley, and Lennie Wesley from Conisborough, Nr. Doncaster, became an unlikely musical combination to play a major role in establishing contemporary folk music in Britain. Making hundreds of appearances on all major TV and BBC Radio stations in the UK. Recording three albums and singles with the prestigious Decca Record Company, whilst influencing millions with their style and musical approach. Regular live appearances on 'Scene at 6.30' for Granada TV in Manchester to 19 million viewers increased their popularity, alongside becoming award winners with their original song 'Reflections' on Granada T.V's Firstimers series. Then offered 'Top of the Bill' bookings on the thriving northern cabaret scene, presenting acoustic folk song to an often alien audience, yet converting many appreciative followers to the modern folk music idiom. They opened their own Folk clubs and organised venues to promote their concerts, playing a pioneering role of bringing Folk song in Britain to a wider audience, as in America, the Weavers, Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul & Mary and others, were making the same contribution. The Foggy Dew-O story has many twists and turns, including management betrayal and financial loss, a sudden life - threatening illness that curtailed their career, when on the brink of major fame. The book highlights their friendships and associations with the many unknown folkies and singers at that time; The Strawbs, Tom Paxton, David Bowie, Billy Connelly, Gerry Rafferty, Barbara Dickson, Rick Wakeman, Mark Knophler, Ralph Mctell, Richard Thompson, Jake Thackery, Tony Capstick, Mike Harding, Jasper Carrott, Tony Christie, Bobby Vee, Isla St. Clair, Christy Moore, Paul Simon and many more. The story of their experiences of performing and entertaining varied audiences, are expressed in this book, with perception, honesty and humour, by the remaining duo member, that relates to a unique period in Britain's musical and social history of that time.
