'Too Many Poets'

Chris Copping's FAX and demos

Chris sent a shortlist ... and then the results: he also sent mp3 clips of the backing demos he had made to test the viability of his chosen set of lyrics, and to indicate the mood he considered them to convey: have a listen, then read the FAX below.

here is the text of the FAX he sent to the convention:

So who is the author of Chris Copping's 'Best set of lyrics'?

It's Charles Scott … pictured … whom many will have met at the Manchester Convention … and who by a suitably Procolian coincidence comes from Southend on Sea!

Other pseudonyms are revealed here … where you may notice that Charles scooped a fairly leonine share of the honours!
