Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Cornish Lads (Roger Bryant)
As this thread has be re-opened, I can explain the link between Cry of Tin and Cornish Lads. Cornish Lads was not written for Cry of Tin but we used to do it, or Roger did with us all in support, as the encore for the show, after the bows. We did put it in the book but it was not on the CD. As Kitty rightly says, it is on Silver Harvest - both still available from MIke O'Connor. If you are still looking for the female that used to sing it and recorded it, who has the 'haunting voice' it might be me. I recorded it back in 2000 on our Not for Glory CD which had the photo of Robinson's Shaft, South Crofty on the front, and I have sung it for years, with Rogers approval. I did sing it in Canada in 1999 and did give copies of the words and dots to a fair few people out there and, of course, I have sung it all over the UK at numerous festivals.
