Thread Name: British Library sound archive
Subject: RE: British Library sound archive
It's gratifying, I suppose, that the British Library is as fallible as ourselves and unfortunate that they don't allow us to communicate their errors as Matthew Edwards writes above, unless we belong to a "Licensed UK higher or further education institution".
I looked up "The Outlandish Knight" where you can listen to a John Howson recording of it by Vic Legg, a fragment from Yorkshire recorded by Steve Gardham (a contributor here) and Fred Jordan's version recorded by several collectors.
There's also a version from: "The Reg Hall Archive - Performers: (unidentified, fenale)"
It's Fred Jordan again, and someone less female than Fred I can't think!
Of course, they may have matched the wrong recording with the right information.
Still a veritable treasure though.
