Just having a look through Hamer's Garners Gay and thought I might learn the John Barleycorn - 'fol lol lol lol it's a lovely day' version. I'm sure I reognise it from somewhere. Does anybody know who's recorded it? j

Steeleye Span, on Below the Salt. They credit Fred Hamer and Billy Bartle.

I first heard this version sung by Dave and Toni Arthur, many years ago. I'm not sure if they recorded it though.

Ahh, Steeleye, that'd be it. They always got the good'ns. Cheers, Jon

We recorded it in the early 80s on GHM-203 Live At Holsteins. You wouldn't have heard that though, Jon. Info at www.goldenhindmusic.com
