GUEST,Adrian Allan Ideas for regional folksong book (7) Ideas for regional folksong book 15 Apr 18


Hello

I have published two books of guitar and voice arrangements of Robert Burns songs. (You can see my books on Amazon etc)

My next project will be a music/ heritage book where I will divide England up into regions (ie, Midlands, South West, etc) and I hope to include a number of folksongs for each region fully arranged for guitar and voice, ie. not just chord symbols, but fingerstyle.

I know that some songs have been found in various places, but others have quite a strong regional link. For example The Lincolnshire Poacher, or the Keel Row. If a folksong is definitely from one region, I would include it in that region.

So I'm asking all you good people here for your suggestions. They could be more obscure if you think they are worthy of inclusion and might represent a region. A link to any sheet music melody would help, as I mainly work from printed sources

Many thanks

Adrian Allan
