The following comes from a promotional leaflett Bill Price issued around 1977:

Bill Price was born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire and began singing in concerts at the age of 10. He was well known in clubs arround Yorkshire and the North East in the early 1960’s, specialising at that time in unaccompanied ballad singing. He moved to Toronto in 1965 and turned professional singer in a duo ‘The Pedler's Pack’ with Roger Renwick providing the instrumentation. The duo disbanded when Bill moved West and Roger went off to study for his Ph.D in Folk Life Studies.
Over in British Columbia Bill was joined by an old friend from England, guitarist Ben Benson, and together they played many concerts, radio shows throughout the province, and ran their own television series on British Folk Music. On his return to England in 1968, Bill decided, reluctantly at first, to accompany his songs with guitar and concertina. He was soon regarded as an accomplished musician on a variety of instruments and taught guitar in his home town.
After the release of his record “The Fine Old Yorkshire Gentleman” in 1973, and offers of work abroad, Bill decided it was time to leave the teaching profession and launch into a full-time singing career again.
Bill performed at clubs and festivals up and down Britain, toured Germany, Canada and the United States, and made a number of radio and television appearances. He played bass guitar for the Broomfield Wager Ceilidh Band and toured extensively in North America in Autumn 1977.
His songs were mainly traditional, many of them collected by Bill in Yorkshire.
