Thread Name: Origins: The Foggy Foggy Dew (from Phil Hammond)
Subject: RE: Origins: Phil Hammond's 'Foggy Foggy Dew'
Hi Lighter,

I wonder if you've spotted the recent article on Phil Hammond on the 'Musical Traditions' website (www.mustrad.org) yet? It's called, "Billy Lown and Philip Hammond, two North Norfolk singers".

The article mentions Mr Hammond's version of 'The Foggy Dew' but it makes no mention of where he got it from. It does, however, contain numerous quotes from his son, Ned Hammond, who, it appears, is still alive. Perhaps you could trace him and ask him if he knows?
