GUEST,Old Snap Help: July Wakes (9) RE: Help: July Wakes 04 Dec 00

Thanks for your help, everyone. Sorry I can't be any help with the banjo, Geoff - like you, I've been singing it for a few years, but we do it in unaccompanied 3-part harmony (though we too include a few chords from the dusty end of the shelf!) We'd like to ask permission to record the song, so does anyone know either Richard Pomfret or Stan Ellison, and how I might get in touch?

As for "Blessed Quietness", I've tracked it back to an American Seventh Day Adventist song book of about 1898, but that gives a different tune to the one known in England and beautifully recorded by Beggar's Velvet a few years back. Does anyone have any idea where the English version of the tune came from?
