MEMORABILIA REQUEST
Since Carl's passing, and with the help of his friends and fans, we have been trying to collect as much as we can related to his very long and varied career. We are looking for any memorabilia at all, including photos, audio and video from all eras: The Move, his time in various cabaret venues, Blood Brothers and The Hollies, radio broadcasts, interviews, sessions, advertisements and jingles, sound desk or video recordings of shows, and videos of the various TV programmes and series he appeared in over the years. Anything would be welcome, regardless of quality and stage door and "natural" photos are just as valuable as stage shots and posed pictures. Anything we have not seen and heard before is a bonus, so if you have something you are not sure about, please get in touch as the chances are we'd welcome it. We are putting together a list of more specific items we are looking for, but in the mean time if you feel you can help, please contact us. Carl's performances were not always very well documented, but we are aware there must be people out there with recordings and photos which would be invaluable to us, not only for sentimental reasons but with a view to collating material to aid us with various projects relating to his work. All costs will be met and you can rest assured anything offered will not be circulated elsewhere. Thanking you in advance!
