Subject: RE: New Book: Forgotten Songs of the Upper Thames
Hi Matt
There are 205 songs in the book, so it is quite a long list. If you PM me, I can send you a copy. I do not, at present, have a list that includes the Roud Numbers (which are, of course, in the book) and many of the titles are not the ones that you might know the songs by.
And for Tim - no, there are no tunes. That was not part of William's plan. Imagine what you would do if you were given the song as a broadside - the old singers would have found a tune in their heads.
