Very interesting indeed.

I think your father also played on Ring of Bright Water. It is a stunning display. Can you confirm?

I once watched an old black & White Alec Guiness film (it may have been "The Card" AKA "The Promoter", but am unsure) which has loads of superb clarinet playing that struck me as possibly being Sid Fell. Again, if you could confirm, that would be good to know.

I have a recording of him playing the Hummell (?) quartet (clarinet and three strings) which is breathtakingly good. He also recorded the Schubert Octet which is mainly good.

I took a couple of lessons from him, and he referred to a recording of his that might come out if he could finish it off, including a premiere. That may be the 1966 recording to which you refer, but I talked to him in 1980, which does not seem consistent, though I believe he had to wrestle with injuries etc in the 1970s.

Do you still have his 1010s?

I shall stop the nosey questions now.
