Dave Hunt Lyr Req: Tavistock (10) RE: Lyr Req: Tavistock 13 Nov 08


Bob Cann was recorded singing 'Tavistock Goosey Fair' by John Howson and issued on the cassette 'Five Generations' issued by Veteran Tapes.VT110. (1988 - quite a while ago!) It also contails a ypoung Mark Bazeley - Bobs grandson - who continues to run the wonderful Dartmoor Folk Festival [http://www.dartmoorfolkfestival.co.uk/[ which conveniently follows on from Sidmouth]

Veteran issue some of the very best recordings of traditional singers and musicians see: http://www.veteran.co.uk/ for a full listing

I have an idea that it was also recorded by Tony Rose, but can't put my hand on that one at the moment

I also have a recording of it on an old 78rpm record - sung by a Mr J.H Scotland (bass) [I think that should have been 'Bass' he sounds half-cut! - or maybe it's just his attempt at dialect - known in the trade as Mummersetshire!!]
