Charlie Bridger: singer and musician, Stone-in-Oxney, Kent. Born 1913.
I went to visit Charlie at his home in Kent because I had been told about his superb version of the song Three Maidens a-Milking Did Go (available on the veteran CD Down in the Fields VTC4CD; two other songs, The Folkestone Murder and The Zulu Wars, will be reissued on future Veteran CDs). Charlie had worked for most of his life at a near-by stone quarry and I am sorry that I only managed to see him on one occasion.
