My Father is interested in a CD of Traditional Northern Folk Songs for Xmas. Does anyone know the Title of any such CD (and where to buy one!)

Thanks in advance Bryan

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "traditional northern folk songs," Bryan. You might want to try Folk-Legacy Records (click here). Their Golden Ring CD's might be just what you're looking for.

Northern England, I assume. You might try ordering the Topic catalogue as they used to have tons of that stuff.

They don't have e-mail, but you can fax your request by e-mail by e-mailing it to:

remote-printer.Topic_Direct/[e-mail]

Yes, you have to put all of that in exactly in that form or the fax won't fax.

Make sure you give them your full address.

There is a lovely CD simply called 'Voices', although the material isn't limited to Northern England, and just now I don't have the label at my fingertips ... Still, it's one of my favourites. - Susanne

But if you're talking about northern--as opposed to southern--United States, get Art Thieme's The Older I Get the Better I Was, available from Waterbug (www.waterbug.com). --seed
