Tonight at the Music Institute Club in Guildford (guests were Belshazzar's Feast) - the two songs I sang to open up hostilities for the evening were :

"She's Like the Swallow" - Canadian traditional song - learned in the 1970's from the Penguin Book of Canadian Folk Songs, and so far only sung in public three times by me (as far as I can recall)

then:
a version of "The Unquiet Grave" collected by Lucy Broadwood on a trip to visit Sabine Baring-Gould in 1893 from Jane Jeffreys in Devon - or to be more precise the tune and SOME of the words - as Mrs Jeffreys was rather old and forgetful - the rest of the words were gleaned from several other versions that Lucy had collected elsewhere.

Both songs sung unaccompanied.

(And Kitty - no I didn't manage to get my Les Barker one in - too many floor singers and not enough time .... another day, maybe!!)
