Title: Looking for Jeanette Bell (ass. Alan Lomax)
Post by MM_Filmprodukties on Feb 24^th, 2004, 2:25pm

MM Filmprodukties, an independant production company in Amsterdam is working currently on a documentary on Alan Lomax, the folk song collector from the States. He has had several programmes for the BBC (Radio)on
wich he commented on the music he found by his journeys to Europe.
On one of those journeys, assigned by the BBC, he travelled to Spain for nine months in the years 1952/1953. As far as we know, he got a
secretary sent with him from the BBC. Her name was Jeanette Bell (or Pip) and at that time somewhere between 20 and 25 years old. The only
things we know is that she was a good horse rider and was working at the BBC.

We are very much interested in her experiences on travelling with Alan Lomax so close for so long. Does anybody know where we might find Jeanette Bell? Or does someone has some more information about her?

Thanks very much in advance.
Kindest regards,
