Hi, Mary -
I hope you don't mind. I moved this to the music section because that's where it belongs. In the other thread, we established that "The Fairfield Crane" and "Shipyard Apprentice" are one and the same song, written by Archie Fisher..

And I don't think you want to copyright the song - you want to license the song. But it sounds like you want to license it for publication in the UK, and I'm wondering why.

I tried to look up US licensing information, and songfile.com is down today. Or are you seeking to contact Archie Fisher to directly get a license from him? I'm sure somebody has contact information for him, but I don't know how to go about getting a license from an individual.
