Sorry folks but it's a pain to use. The search engine throws up versions of songs well enough, but there is no way of accessing archival entries without trawling through the lot and hoping that there is a digitized entry.
For example, if you wish to know every version of the Dark Eye'd sailor collected in Somerset you can not directly access that info as far as I can see. If you wish to filter out all but the digitally archived entries, there is no method of doing so. Consequently, it makes researching twice as long and twice as difficult. There is an old saying, if it ain't broken don't mend it!
Yes I will give it a chance, and no doubt I'll find my way round it, but all links from the likes of' 'Mainly Norfolk', 'Cecil Sharps people', and numerous other websites via Roud are completely buggered up. Just what I bloody needed! I'm off to have two of my red pills and a lie-down, then spend valuable time afterward trying to work my way around the options allowed by the genius who designed the website. (Moan mumble gibber groan!)
