Subject: RE: Rights to record for Tradtional Songs
The only one I know for sure is the Mingulay Boat song. I believe it was Sir Hugh Roberton who composed that. There is at least two threads here at the Mudcat which has that authorship information. He was director of the Glasgow Phoenix Orchestra or Choir and wrote that along with others to traditional tunes.

Have you done a search here at Mudcat? I'm pretty sure a number of these have been discussed at some point.
