Subject: Eddie Upton / The Trugs From: Lancashire Lad Date: 24 Apr 04 - 09:06 AM I'm desperately trying to get hold of an LP Eddie Upton made when a member of a Sussex 4 piece called the Trugs. The album was called "And Boldly Go to Sea". Would anyone happen to have a copy they would sell? Alternately could anyone make me a copy on tape or CDR?. I will pay ANY price as I need to get this for a good friend who lost his copy many years ago and still misses it dearly. It would be the highlight of his birthday If I could help him out. Thanks LL PS. and I did mean ANY price |

Subject: RE: Eddie Upton / The Trugs From: GUEST,padgett Date: 26 Apr 04 - 04:38 AM I have a copy of a Trugs cassette purchased many years ago and so far have been unable to ascertain who they actually were Clearly a Southern group (sorry Eddie), but marvellous harmonies and some not very usual trad songs 'Humphrey Hough' springs to mind Can anyone enlighten Ray Padgett |

Subject: RE: Eddie Upton / The Trugs From: Lancashire Lad Date: 26 Apr 04 - 10:43 AM Ray The Trugs were from Sussex and their line up for the sole album was Eddie Upton Colin Andrews Dave Robertson Maggie Robertson By the way, Is the cassette a home made copy of the album "And boldly go to Sea" or did it get an official release in cassette format? OR Is it a live tape? LL |

Subject: RE: Eddie Upton / The Trugs From: GUEST,padgett Date: 27 Apr 04 - 08:05 AM I believe it was on Tradition, but I'll have to check this out at home!! I spoke one year at Cleethorpes FF to Johnny Collins about the group and he was unable to say who they were, many thanks! Ray Padgett(Barnsley) |

Subject: RE: Eddie Upton / The Trugs From: GUEST,padgett Date: 28 Apr 04 - 04:11 AM I have rechecked the cassette, which is most definitely not a pirated copy, and can restate that it is on the Tradition label, based in Macclesfield Cheshire ref 005 'And Boldly Go To Sea' also Dorsetshire Militia, Adieu Sweet Lovely Nancy, Thousands or More etc |

Subject: RE: Eddie Upton / The Trugs From: Saro Date: 23 Apr 06 - 10:44 AM Dave Robertson, who was one of the Trugs (usually on the bass line), is still alive and well and singing in the Norwich area. Maggie is alive and well too, but just not singing, alas. Dave now sings with June Thain, well worth hearing the two of them. |

Subject: RE: Eddie Upton / The Trugs From: GUEST,Colin Andrews Date: 28 Apr 06 - 02:26 PM As one of the original Trugs,I can say that only 100 LPs were pressed on the Tradition Label. The master tapes are now in the possession of Fellside Records - and includes one track, The Wimborne Valentine, which did not appear on the original record. As we have lived in diferent parts of the country for many years (Eddie & I in the South West of England, David & Maggie Robertson in Norfolk, we have met only rarely - last 'singing' reunion was in Sussex about 8 years ago. 'Humphrey Hough' was a song from the Michael Blann songbook. I'm currently undertaking a major revision of my book about Michael Blann & his songs, originally published in 1979. The new edition with have an accompanying CD of most of the songs from Blann's notebook. |
