No need to have tongue in cheek, Dave. The contact is traceable through the tale told by the written music, which provides ample evidence that the Clough tradition is in direct descent from Peacock (AND Dixon), and many playing now are only one or two removes from Tom Clough, e.g. via Billy Pigg, and in one case, via the specific approval of Tom's son.
