Thank you Matthew

Ian Russell is certainly well into the Sheffield Carolling and has the CDs for sale!

He may have information which he would be happy to pass on (on not!)

You may be unaware of the initiative which we are currently undertaking, that is to collate and record a Yorkshire song database and we are currently seeking appropriate songs

We have a LHI grant to do this!

we = Steve Gardham, Ray Padgett, Mike Parsey (see Yorkshire Garland)

I have the LP referred to a well as Arthur Howard's LP We are going to look as far back as we can and obviously take in Will and John, Ernest and Barry and any others who may be approachable such as Bob Auty

Hunting songs, as such are important but not a priority

Thanks for all your help
A recording session at Holmfirth Festival of Folk on Easter Saturday afternoon will take place at the Old Bridge if anyone is interested in being there (free)
