I heard Bert Lloyd sing his (anglicised) reconstruction of Tam Lyn at Peterborough Folk Club around 40 years ago. It made a deep impression on the young lad I was then. Not surprisingly it was taken up and recorded by several of the notable Revival singers eg. Mike Waterson and Frankie Armstrong, among others.

I hear echoes of Bert's tune in the versions sung by the two Scottish trad. singers who sing Tam Lyn on the 'Muckle Sangs' - has anyone else noticed this? Would anyone, who is more musically literate that what I am, care to speculate on whether or not this is where he might have got his tune?
