Oooops. It's taken me a while to get back on this thread cos I did some more 'gadding around' after Sweeps.

Tam, I'm glad you liked my songs. The first one you mention "Pint of Contraception" is by John (Mitch) Mitchell from Worksop. I believe Cyril Tawny recorded it a long while ago though the only people I've heard sing it are Mitch and Jerry from my Folk Club (Bideford in N Devon)

"Sing to Welcome Back the Green Man" is by Ann Reader - who's on mudcat as Mrs Scarecrow. Both Ann and husband Dave have written lots of songs, including several about witches but the Witch song you mentioned is not one of theirs, nor was it me singing it. It was sung by Martin - "The Unicorn Man" and credited to a (nameless) friend of his.
