GUEST,redmax Seeking: Trad songs from Leicestershire (21) RE: Seeking: Trad songs from Leicestershire 20 Feb 08


I can see the attraction of trying to identify songs with a connection to your county, but as Malcolm pointed out, it's not an easy task. Good songs travelled, indifferent songs faded.

I suppose there are different approaches. John Raven proved quite adept at using texts from old black country broadsides and setting them to tunes that seemed appropriate. Graeme Meek didn't find many Bedfordshire songs so decided to write his own.
