Phil Edwards 'Traditional songs' on The Archers (35) RE: 'Traditional songs' on The Archers 09 May 15


Steve - definite family resemblance, I think. If you follow the link you can hear for yourself.

As far as I could make out the first song was about a girl who's betrothed against her will & marries her true love at the last minute. So it's in the Golden Glove/Green Wedding area, but without any tune to speak of until the last line (which was nicked from Pleasant & Delightful). The second song seemed to be about a cobbler who wasn't very good at his job and... er, that's it, which doesn't sound like any traditional song I know of (including the two just cited).
