Steve, I only became seriously interested in folk music shortly after Nick Jones had had his accident, and can honestly say that I have never heard anyone refer to any of his albums other than "Penguin Eggs". A friend told me she had recently seen him perform at a folk festival, and although she was pleased to see him and enjoyed the concert, she was sad to see that his son played guitar while Nick sang.

HI Ian Yes, the Nick Jones programme was very good. The only problem with it was that it didn't let us hear any of what he performed on his comeback or anyof his past performances. Every time a song got started somebody talked overit. Also you would have thought that he had only ever made the one album - Penguin Egss. In fact, I think that was his fourth or fifth album.Admittedly there is a problem over getting access to the original recordings of his older material but I am sure that the BBC has it all in their recordlibrary.With a little research and a little more patience in the production it couldhave been a whole lot better. We saw Nick perform at the Cullercoats folk club a couple of weeks before the accident. We also spoke to him last at a friend's wedding in Yorkshire about 20 years ago. At that time he was having considerable difficulty holding conversations. I keep hearing rumours that the old Leader material might be escaping butthere seem to be a lot of legal problems as well as a reluctance on the part of the apparent current copyright holder to allow anyone else to process thematerial for re-issue.

While writing, and straying somewhat off topic, one of the most moving TV programmes I've seen in a while was on BBC4 recently. It concerned the return to performing by brilliant singer and guitarist Nic Jones. Both his children, a son and a daughter were involved as were many of the giants of British folk. It has probably dropped off the iPlayer bynow, but they do repeat shows quite often on the channel so keep a look out.
