It consists of some mostly very amusing folk songs in a Norfolk/North Suffolk accent and dialect. Does anyone know what happened to him? He used to appear regularly on local TV and radio in the 1980's. I'd like to know if he made any other recordings, and if any of them are still available. I've searched the web and local libraries thoroughly but have drawn a complete blank. Any info welcomed! Many thanks.

'Farmer on a bike' is one of the tracks on 'A weekend in East Anglia', and was also issued as a single, backed with 'Eastern Counties Bus' (which is not on the album). The scriptwriter web page does look like an interesting lead - I'll follow it up once some further response has come from the EDP letter (or possibly more from this forum...!)
