Murpholly (seeking songs from)Westmorland/Wiltshire/Rutland (16) RE: (seeking songs from)Westmorland/Wiltshire/Rutland 08 Aug 09


Thanks for the responses. I had John Peel for Cumbria because of the Caldbeck connection and the fact that he is buried there. Thus was looking for Westmoreland. As I am trying to find traditional songs had not considered The witch of Westmoreland being fairly "modern", and whilst not necessarily wanting song which mentions places definitely would like song appropriate to the area and collected there - also one that is learnable and singable seeing I'm ageing and losing my range!!! (This is definitely a retirement project) So will now try Anne Gilchrist collection and Kendal Folk Song Competition refs. Thanks Sue.
Don't know either the Rout Has Come for the Blues or the Oakham Poachers so will follow those up to.
List of rest of counties I have within my singing range rather long. Do you really want it all?
