The female singer was June Tabor, singing on some compilation CD. Also Graeme was right about the synthesiser - obviously I can't hear the difference between an organ and the pipes ;-)

I find Barry's remarks very plausible - the explanation I offered was only a quoute. The end of each chorus reads "The Flowers o' the Forest are a'wede awa'", and the main theme is the lasses lamenting their lost beloved
