Well, Nic has clearly reworked the song, and I've no doubt that Nic's "reworking" gives the song its wide appeal.
I am still concerned that Loreena McKennitt can " get away" with perfoming Nic's version and calling it traditional with no credit given to Nic.
If Martin Carthy received a nice sum of money for his "arrangement" of "Scarborough Fair", then Nic should receive compensation for Annachie Gordon".
Of course, this is the second time that a singer, who sells albums in the millions, hasn't acknowledge Nic's considerable input.
