30 Sep 03 - 05:33 AM (#1026625) Subject: Bob Pegg in Hope From: Trevor The third in the series of top flight dos in Hope, Shropshire features Bob Pegg. He's bringing his 'Last Wolf' storytelling and songs to the Village Hall on 29th November. P-mail me for more info about the gig, and have a look at this for some stuff about the man himself. Be there or be to the power of two! |

I was listening to The Last Wolf just the other day, and the songs from the Calderdale cycle are really remarkable, almost as good as the Mr Fox stuff. Does anyone know what became of Carolanne? I thought her solo album was really enjoyable, but I'm not aware of anything else she's done |

Some years ago when between contracts and just freelancing around the BBC, I discovered that the 'holiday relief' job I was covering was that of their daughter Clancy Pegg who I had last seen aged about 7 at a Bob & Carole gig at the Enterprise, Chalk Farm in the early 70s. I too was very pleased to see Bob's website. I do hope he will be venturing even further south because I should really like to see him perform again. |

05 Nov 03 - 08:09 AM (#1048356) Subject: RE: Bob Pegg in Hope From: Kevin Sheils Good to see a web presence for Bob, I enjoyed meeting him again a few years back when he did the Sidmouth Festival (about the time that "The Last Wolf" was released). I found it interesting that he mentions the two Mr Fox albums in the early days section of the web site but not the album "He Came From the Mountains" which was released as Bob & Carole Pegg rather than Mr Fox but recorded around the same time. I realise it was on Trailer and is undoubtedly buried in those vaults but surely Bob hasn't forgotten it. I'll drop him an email...... |

I gather they also recorded an LP called And Now it is So Early, but those were all Sydney Carter songs. Anyone heard that one? Recommended? |

14 Jan 04 - 04:36 AM (#1092506) Subject: RE: Bob Pegg in Hope From: Trevor I can't tell you what the future plans are - he came to Hope because we 'phoned and asked him - it wasn't part of a tour I don't think. Incidentally, he also had a story-telling session with the local primary school on the afternoon before the gig, which had a great response from kids and parents. |

14 Jan 04 - 05:06 AM (#1092520) Subject: RE: Bob Pegg in Hope From: Dave the Gnome I can also confirm that Bob is an all round good guy:-) I sent him a question about the journey of the Gypsy from the album of the same name. Not only did he answer my question but sent me a copy of 'The Last Wolf' as well. And a wonderful album it is too. Cheers DtG |

14 Jan 04 - 05:08 AM (#1092522) Subject: RE: Bob Pegg in Hope From: Dave the Gnome I always thought Hope was in Derbyshire btw - Next stop to Edale on the Manchester/Sheffield line. Is it a different Hope? :D |

14 Jan 04 - 08:20 AM (#1092608) Subject: RE: Bob Pegg in Hope From: red max DtG, what was "the white lady", then? I remember you were puzzling over that reference. Are you still planning to walk it I liked The Last Wolf, too, but the older songs from the Calderdale Cycle seemed a lot stronger to me than his newer stuff He was kind enough to reply to an email enquiry of mine, and said that he mostly does storytelling gigs because that's what he's become known for. I don't think he has any objection to playing the old songs, in which case... WE NEED A MR FOX REUNION. Best damn folk rock band ever! |

14 Jan 04 - 09:15 AM (#1092630) Subject: RE: Bob Pegg in Hope From: Dave the Gnome 'twas indeed the White Lady, Max. She was an apparition seen by Jackies Dad and Uncle. Jackie is mentioned in the song (Have you seen the Gypsies I asked my friend Jackie...) The ghostly white lady crossed the road up near where Wharfedale meets Langsthropdale and then disappeared into the stream! Spooky or what? And yes, I am still planning the walk (but not stopping up there at night;-) ) I am on my first walk of the year this Sunday. By April, fitness permitting, I hope to begin preparations in ernest. Possibly May bank holiday? I said I would keep Bob posted on the venture as well. Cheers :D |
