"I always thought the one about Andy Irvine looking up the tune for Fair Flower Of Northumberland in Bronson and the page blowing over so that he in fact copied out Fause Foodrage was a bit of a tall story." Countess Di: I know we get strong winds in Ireland, but that must have been a hurricane; 'Fair Flower' is in volume one of Bronson and 'Fause Foodrage' is in volume two - and they're biiiig books.
