Subject: Memories Author: Ken Brickell [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:46:34 10/27/01 Sat Hello Abertillery Orpheus, Ken Brickell writing. I've just found the excellent site. I suppose some of you will remember me, but I was a member from about 1952 for a few years until I left the area, but I still remember all the old faithful songs. I sang with the Gwalia in London for about 25 years and when they decided to do Comrades about 20 years on (and Crossing the Plain) I was still note perfect. What an education. Nice to see The Undertaker is still active, or shouldn't I call him that anymore. Anyway Trevor, it was really good to see that you are still alive and kicking and actively involved. I live in Oulton Broad now and still have a barbershop cum whatever group of eight. We sing anything from Bach to Beetles via Barbershop and spirituals. I write most of the arrangements, which might come as a surprise to Martin. I assume the Martin referred to in other letters is Martin Budd. If so, please give him my very kind regards. One of my best memories was of Mr Chapel singing "Flow Gently, Deva", but I cannot remember his tenor. Ask Harry Jones if he remembers his fight with Ray Jones in "Die Fleidermaus". Is Joyce still about? God, I could sit here all night writing this. If you'd like to take a look at a couple of my arrangements, I'd happily send them in the hope that you would use one or two. Anyway, I've enjoyed this little sojourn. It would be nice to hear from you. Best regards, Ken. P.S. I am really taken with Jack's paintings - I think they are lovely, especially the one of Six Bells pit. My father spent most of his life down there. Damn nearly lost it a couple of times.

Hi Ken. Yes I remember you, but I remember Ann better. I still have photos of us taken together when we did the pantos. Give me an address and I'll dig them out and make copies for her. I hope she is still well. I came across some programmes the other day from "Babes in Robin's Wood" with Ann and myself and Windsor Bool and God knows who else. I can still tap, although seeing as I retire next year, I avoid all forms of dance like the plague. I've still got my original taps somewhere! What a sad bastard. Anyway, have a good Christmas. Let's hear from you Nd I'll send the photos as promised. Ken [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Hello Mr. Mason, I was just surfing through this sight and remembered attending your concert in Calgary in 1990. I don't know if you remember me, but my parents are Dick and Doris Morgan. It was a pleasure to meet you and the rest of the Choir, as well as some of the other persons who knew my Grandmother, Lillian Jones. Just thought I'd leave a little message to say it was a memmorable time. Please give my regards to your wife Anne. Regards, Richard [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
