Brett Stevens sings Green all the way and other ballads of the Age of Steam by Dave Goulder. Based on the BBC Radio 2 'Meoldy Time' broadcasts produced by James Dufour. The authentic flavour of each of Dave Goulder's railway songs is the result of his own experiences while working on and off the footplate. Here are some of his recollections which gave him ideas for several of the songs in this record. THE TURNTABLE SONG Signing on one morning, I discovered that a couple of my mates had taken an engine down to the table, turned it and left it on the far side, on a gradient with the brake off. The vibration of the turntable going round with a second engine was enough to set the first one moving, with the result that it toppled headlong into the hole. I'D LIKE TO BE A LENGTHMAN This song was written around a real character who was, and still is an 'enthusiastic' lengthman on the Achnashellach section of the Inverness-Kyle-of-Lochalsh line in North-West Scotland; a section that can be hit by 3 or 4 landslides a week in a really bad winter. GREEN ALL THE WAY The engine struggles out of the colliery sidings into the long curve of the main line and the fireman, knowing that the signals are not visible from the driver's side of the cab, shouts, ''Green all the way, mate'' to give him the all clear. At the time I left the railway, it was 'Green all the way' for the change - over from steam to diesel. THE DAY WE RAN AWAY One of my first trips out on the main line was on a Class 4. I mentioned to the driver that I thought we were moving rather fast. ''Oh yes,'' he said, ''we can't hold them, we're running away.'' It seems this was a regular thing, but it left a marked impression on me. REQUIEM The end of steam. The passing of the ash plant and the water crane. The steam raiser redundant, the last pages of a romantic tale. You can still see the signs of steam all over the country; blackened trees and buildings, coal scattered along the line, derelict hoppers and sheds, and occasionally the engines themselves. Silent, cold, end to end, waiting for the breaker's torch. IVOR THE DRIVER An old joke set to music heard originally from a fireman on Kirkby Sheds. PINWHERRY DIP The idea came from stories about the Glasgow / South Western Railway, it concerns the last train from Girvan to Wigtown on a Saturday night, which was frequently overloaded. Front cover - ''Green all the way'' from the original oil painting by David Weston. Midland Region ''Jubilee'' class locomotive no. 45687 ''Neptune'' passes ''Coronation'' class locomotive 46251 ''City of Nottingham'' in the Lune Valley on the Preston to Carlisle line. Mr. Weston writes: ''The sight of a red steam locomotive speeding through the green English countryside was always guaranteed to stir the imagination. To see two of them roaring past at once was something of a bonus. Sadly these scenes can now belong only to the past.'' ''The Lune Valley provided a glorious backcloth to the spectacle of those great plumes of smoke shooting into the sky to blend with soft clouds and give patches of brilliant sunshine and deep shadows.'' The railway sounds heard in this record were compiled from the BBC Sound Archives and Effects Libraries by R. A. Symes-Schutzmann. Musical arrangements by Cecil Bolton. All the songs in this record were published by Robbins Music Corporation Limited, 35 Solo Square, London W. 1. BRETT STEVENS At 21, Brett Stevens won a talent competition in a pub in Bedford, and decided to leave his home and job and become a professional entertainer. After months of tramping the streets of London he called on an agent who asked him if he had come for the Bass part in a pantomime quartet to be produced in Swansea. Brett said ''yes,'' but to this day wonders who should really have had the job! After singing in six different acts, he went into a touring company of ''South Pacific''. In this same show was a girl called Rusty Whitham - who is now his wife. After ''South Pacific'' came a number of London shows. It was during one of these that he decided to use his spare time learning classical guitar. The following summer he and his guitar joined a concert party at Gorleston. The act went well and on his return to London was engaged as a guest artist at the Windmill Theatre. It was in the radio programme ''Melody Time'' with Max Jaffa that Brett first introduced the Railway Songs of Dave Goulder. The interest created by these songs eventually led to this record. DAVE GOULDER Dave Goulder left school at 15 and worked as a station porter at Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. He later transferred to the locomotive department to become a fireman, serving first as an engine-cleaner and general labourer. Four years of firing and he was back in the sheds again when an eyesight defect removed him from the footplate. A further spell as a stand-in steamraiser and tube-cleaner showed a bleak future on the railway as far as he was concerned, and consequently, in January 1961, he left the service. After spending a few months travelling over Europe and North Africa, he applied for a job as a Youth Hostel Warden in the North-West of Scotland and was appointed to Achnashellach Hostel in Wester Ross. He lived at Achnashellach for almost four years and it was there that he began writing songs, looking back to his railway days for inspiration. The old wooden hostel was closed in 1966 along with several others in the area, so he teamed up with a fellow 'redundant' warden and together they leased a gamekeeper's house from the National Trust for Scotland, which they are now running as an independent hostel among the mountains of Torridon.
