Katrina - sounds like a fun project. Apropos unto brigg fair by joseph taylor - you can access the notes on my old website archive Hope this helps. A suggestion - look at folk customs as well, as these are generally associated with some of the oldest songs. Some suggested reading: * For general background on Cecil Sharp etc, find a copy of "the Oxford book of English Folklore". * For a general debunking of 'ancient survival' theories of folk songs find a copy of Bob Peggs' 'Rites and Riots - Folk Customs of Britain and Europe'. * 'Rymes Of Robin Hood' by Dobson & Taylor. (Some of our oldest ballads). * Anything by Roy Palmer! I have some material you may find useful (too much to post here) send me an email and I will attach the information in the reply. AP
