By the way, Tattie Bogle, thanks for your kind remarks about my playing.

Also, I put a summary of some of what I found out about John Fenwick on my blog Occasional Folk Songs. There is also a link the there to the Farne Website which has more information about the tunes with reference to a number of versions including some called the Flowers of Yarrow or Mary, Flower of Yarrow. Tunes from the borders will have gone back and forth across the border as musicians from both sides of the borders certainly knew each other.

I intended put this on my previous post but I was replying on my phone from my daughter's flat and clever as smart phones are they are not the quickest or easiest to type on.
