"Barry Lister, jolly fine chap though he is, is not a source for Adieu Sweet Lovely Nancy. It's from the Copper Family songbook, as printed in A Song For Every Season "

Exactly - I was wondering why they'd credit Barry Lister for it as well. Particularly as it's hardly an obscure song - everybody and their dog has sung it at some point. My dog's rendition was particularly fine, as it happens. Did they really need Barry Lister to teach them one of the most well-known songs in the English canon?

Before I get the "Oi! You leave Barry Lister alone!" Which results when any mere mortal even mentions someone that Lizzie has "discovered" and thereby claims possession of, I would add that I am particularly fond of his version of another Copper family classic, Thousands or More. Though my favourite version of that song is actually sung by my friend Katy:

"Time passes over more pleasant and gay
Since we learned a new act to drive Saul Rose away..."

Try it. Sheer brilliance, and especially funny if Mr Rose happens to be in the room.

I won't bother wearily adding that this is meant to cast no nasturtiums on the excellent Mr Rose, as Lizzie only leaps to screeching and unwarranted defense of people she's actually heard of.
