The Songwainers are singing again, I hear, albeit infrequently - with a replacement for one of their number who died some years back (not sure if it was Ken Langsbury or Dave Stephenson, I thik the latter). Ron Taylor had (and still has) the most angelic tenor voice, clear as crystal - he has also been a member of Regal Slip alongside Graham & Eileen Pratt and Sue Edwards).

The ballad referred to is the "Ballad of Robin Hood and the Three Squires":

"What news, what news, my fair lady,
what news I do thee pray?
-Oh, it is my three sons in Nottingham Town
today are condemned for to die..."

Do I win an anorak?
Especially if I have the original vinyl of their only album?
