Sent to Alan so far:

JBARLEY2, John Barleycorn (2).  DT text is unattributed; this version of the tune is from Kennedy's "Folksongs of Britain & Ireland", and was collected by Bob Copper from John Attrill of Fittleworth in Sussex, in 1954.

BISTRING, "La Bastringue". The "a" part of the dance tune, to which words are sung.  Also a separate midi of the whole dance tune.

HEXHMLAS, "The Hexhamshire Lass".  Two midis; the tune as sung nowadays, and the tune as first published in "Northumbrian Minstrelsy" (Bruce & Stokoe, 1882)

BELLRING, "The Bell-Ringing".  Tune and text were collected by Sabine Baring Gould from William George Kerswell of Two Bridges, Dartmoor, and published in "Songs of the West" (1889-91).

BRSKWIDW, "Brisk Young Widow".  Tune and text were collected by Cecil Sharp from George Radford at Bridgwater Union, Somerset, in 1905.

COPSHAW, "Copshawholme Fair".  Tune from "Northumbrian Minstrelsy" (Bruce & Stokoe, 1882).

GENTAYLR, "General Taylor".  I've adapted the tune given in A.L. Lloyd's "Folk Song in England" (collected by Cecil Sharp from the shantyman John Short) to bring it closer to the version of the tune most usually sung nowadays, and to fit it to the text in DT (Lou Killen's version, which I've never heard).  In order to fit in some of the triplets, I had to double the note values and set the midi to play at double speed, but it will sound as it's supposed to, though anybody printing it out may be confused!

JIMRAEBN, "Jimmy Raeburn". Tune and text from Willie Scott ("The Border Shepherd") of Hawick.  The tune was notated in Ailie Munro's "The Folk Music Revival in Scotland" (1984).

All midis have lyrics embedded where appropriate.  More to follow as I get them sorted out.  Since so many people have posted lyrics without giving any indication where they got them, it's obviously a hell of a job trying to match the right tune; I expect that a lot will end up with completely different tunes from other versions, but it's a start!  For example, none of my versions of "The Barley Mow" match the text on the DT: it's the version most commonly found on the Web, though, so presumably somebody well-known recorded it.  I'll have to make that one from scratch.

A question: did somebody really sing "The King of the Faeries" to the set-dance tune "King of the Fairies"?  They'd have needed a large shoe-horn.  The text in the DT is described as "Irish Traditional", but it's really an extract from the well-known poem by Allingham, "The Fairies"...

More stuff:

On further investigation, it turns out that THE CUCKOO'S NEST (filename[ CUCKNEST -the John Shiels re-write, recorded by Frank Harte) is one that I do not have, so I'm afraid that it will have to go back on the "Wanted" list.

THE GREEN FIELDS OF CANADA filename[ GRNCANAD  -This text was transcribed from a recording by Planxty; the tune given with THE GREEN FIELDS OF AMERICA (3) filename[ GRNFLDA3 and ascribed to Paddy Tunney, though rather different from the version he published in his book The Stone Fiddle, is so close to that used by Planxty (presumably they learnt it from his recording) that it may as well do duty for both: GRNFLDA3.mid

LADDIE LIE NEAR ME (4) filename[ LADLINR4  -This would have the same tune as LADDIE LIE NEAR ME and LADDIE LIE NEAR ME (2) -it's already given with those 2 files, as LADLINER.mid

SILE NI GHRADA (SHEILA NEE IYER) filename[ SHIELANE  -Paddy Tunney's version, presumably, as printed in The Stone Fiddle. Midi sent to Alan.

THE LITTLE GYPSY GIRL  -learnt from Kennedy's Folksongs of Britain & Ireland, where it is given as The Little Gipsy Girl, recorded by Peter Kennedy from Loise Holmes of Dinedor, Herefordshire, in 1952.  Midi of the tune as given in Kennedy sent to Alan.

GEORDIE'S PENKER filename[ GORDPENK  -This is the well-known tune also used for children's games like "In and Out the Windows".  Midi sent to Alan.

I seem inadvertently to have sent Alan the wrong (unmodified) "General Taylor" midi, but have now sent the correct one.

(Dick G is gonna have a heart attack! how long do you suppose it will take him to catch up?:) ) I have a question for Dick, Joe, Mario, whom ever--will these tunes be added to the DT as a Clicky, or all put on Alan's MIDI page? Seems to me that they would be easier to find if Dick et al could manage to make clickies with them. LOTS of requesters don't even realize the MIDI page is there and I thought it was KindOf/Mostly for tunes composed by MudCatters. Just a ? and a thought bubble.......Ms. BooBoo.

sorcha - someone can correct me if I am wrong, but Alan's midi page is also for people to post tunes for songs posted in the forum, yet have them accessible, rather then e-mailing them to dick or someone. I would assume that any tunes that Dick manages to collate into the DT will have a clicky on the lyric page as current tunes do. And I have been keeping track of locations, etc - so any he DOESN'T get into the next version of the DT aren't "lost", just delayed.

Sorcha, Alan created Mudcat MIDIs for a couple of reasons, (1) only a small number of people were prepared to tackle the software to convert MIDI files to text so that they could be posted, and as a corollary (2)it provides an access point for tunes before they get posted to the DT database. I am now much more aware of how much effort is involved in getting lyrics and tune properly synchronised. I find it really hard to do without the original score as unfortunately MIDIs don't retain any info on slurs. This is definitely Dick's bailey-wick but I would suggest that the current backlog of files in Mudcat MIDIs will be there for some time. Regards, John
