Hello InOBU, I keep on running into Anne Briggs too, figuratively speaking - on some June Tabor sleevenotes - as the subject of 'Beeswing' (haven't seen the thread you speak of) - then again, right on my doorstep in the Dublin folk scene of the 60s (the Jimmy Moynihan bit). The latter I picked up from Andy Irvine's site where he has a nicely written mini-biography. Anne appears in it singing with them in the Abbey Tavern, Howth - to the complete indifference of the late 60s rabble. Here's the link Andy Irvine Apart from Anne, it's interesting reading - where we learn yet another reason to be grateful for Peter Sellar's existence - he gave Andy Irvine his first guitar!! Would love to hear some recordings of Anne - but not likely to run into any in the near future :-<
