Tony Capstick sings a Ewan MacColl song (No.1)

Greatest local radio presenter ever, and absolutely brilliant to work with.
Miss the man terribly, the 6th anniversary of his death is coming up. RIP Cappo.

I'm really pleased this Utube thing has stimulated interest in Tony and I thank YOU ALL sincerely for your comments, I know he would be so chuffed being remembered and thought of so affectionately and in such hight regard, keep dropping by and i'll see what else I can come up with

I loved this guy, saw him many times live at Ashinton folk club when i was little. Does anyone know if his albums are available. What a talent. Man I love U Tube.

Cappo has never been replaced on Radio Dee Dar,Toby Foster (who's about as funny as a broken leg) couldnt lace his booits!

my other faves from this era include casey's last ride, her father didnt like me anyway and to ramona. any chance of uploading any of these pinknblues ?

Gosh yeh!!I remember them well, I'll see what I can dig out. 'Her father did'nt like me' was a Jerry Rafferty song which Tony taught me and I played it for a while. Cappo could always dig out unusual songs for his set, and had a unique way of interpreting them. 'Hello friends' was another one I loved to play, i think it was written by Harvey Andrews, and I still have the lyrics Tony scribbled down for me on the back of an envelope on the way to a gig in Luton - funny what you remember.

gr8 stuff. luv the scargill reference too! i'm sure this must have been recorded pre- miner's stike (84-85)

Thanks swho129 for your comment, I'm chuffed these recordings are sparking memories of Tony. Yes he did often make reference to Sir 'arthur' and indeed sir 'Geoffrey'! Tony was very astute about the world we live in and had a knack of putting a hundred words in a nutshell.

Tony Capstick was brilliant; I'm just so pleased that I saw him do live performances so many times.

thanks Jean for looking in and commenting x
