Title: Video footage of Cotton Mill boys
Post by Gerrymadigan on 04/19/05 at 05:23:15

[email] Gerry.Madigan@madiganmanagement.com
During the seventies the Cotton Mill Boys recorded lots of TV shows, individual appearnaces, and even our own six-week TV series. I am looking for some video footage of any of these appearances. The Benny Hill Show, Opportunity Knocks (three-time winners in 1977), Wembley Country Music Festival (BBC TV 997), Variety Awards Show of Great Britain, BBC Northern Ireland, UTV, Songwriters Show of Great Britain, plus the numerous Late Late Show, and other RTE TV appearnaces. If anyone knows anyone who has copies of any of these shows, I'd greatly apprecaite an email with information.
The Cottons also recorded 15 albums during their 11 years on the road - I don't have a single recording of them, and I'd love to beable to locate copies of any of thse albums.

Hello Gerry can you help way back in the 80s you had a few releases on the Stud label which i believe was your own label one being Tennessee Stud by Terry Woods and Phil Lynottl with a real nice Pic Sleeve and as an ardent Lizzy fan i dont suppose you have a box of them under the bed if so let me know and i will get you a nice collection of CMBs singles in return. ;)

Gerry,

Did you ever find any old footage of the Cotton Mill Boys? My father had played along with you and i was also looking to find old tv footage, he was Mick Mc Manus aka The dancing Fiddler, would be great to here back from you.
