Peter Buckley Hill

Jolly splendid recordings, produced over the years and still available:
 

All CDs now £6 plus p&p. Send cheques payable to Peter Buckley Hill to PBH at 31 Fortess Road, London NW5 1AD.  For years I resisted this new-fangled on-line payment stuff; I'm still coping with decimal currency.   Bring back the guinea and the threepenny bit, say I.  However, you can now make payment by PayPal to pbh@buckers.co.uk . But email me to say you've done it, so I can send the stuff.
