Thread Name: Lyr Req: Cheerful horn?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cheerful horn?
This is one of those songs that got sung a lot about 30 years ago, before hunting became non-PC, but which is now rarely heard. I think I remember Tony Rose singing it....

Apologies for thread drift, but Notts Alliance is still going, currently consisting of Sid Long (who lives in Leicestershire!), Phil Hardcastle, Stephen Bailey and Chris Orme. According to the album notes for their latest CD ("Nothing spoken" after a song written by Leicester's Pete Morton) their renditions of "Moreton Bay" and "Here's adieu to all judges and juries" have been recorded for the Galleries of Justice in Nottingham.

I shall be in Loughborough for work, next Wednesday evening and Thursday, but (having seen Pete Burnham's Leicestershire folk diary) don't expect to be able to get to a folk club.
