Joe, re the link with Sproafly dated 2013. I am a relative of Louise (thro marriage) and we have an original vynal copy of the song although we have never played it as we don't have the equipment. If this is still of interest please get in touch. Regards John Strong Tried the link but was unable to get in, but I am happy for you to post for me , I have two vinyl recordings the first one being library number 18690 Front Side, The Holy Well Sung by Mrs C. Smith Tarrington, Herefordshire. 14/10/52. Back Side, The Bonny Bunch of Roses and My Boy Billy. Sung by Mrs Louise Holmes Dinedor Herefordshire BBC Collection (P. Kennedy). Library Number 18691 Front side The Gypsy's Daughter (the gipsy's wedding day) sung by Mrs Holmes etc etc Back side The Shepherds Daughter (knight and the shepherds daughter) sung by Mrs Holmes etc etc also dated 14/10/52. ( P. Kennedy ) Any information would be of great interest. Regards John
from Joe: the Folktrax Archive (above) identifies #18690 as RPL 18690-1. I take it RPL is the label - what does RPL stand for? -Joe-
