I intend to pick up a copy of the CD at Chippenham and to see Brian's special feature on ballads at the Festival.

My memory may be at fault, but I rather think one of the reasons Brian learnt 'Sir Aldingar' was to use it at a Lewes Arms ballad forum eighteen months ago. There was certainly much appreciation of this rare ballad and a lively discussion of it at the forum. We look forward to more of the same when he comes back to run another forum on 1st. March next year.
