Thread Name: What is 'griesley'?
Subject: RE: What is 'griesley'?
Harry Tuft told us that the haunting tune for "The Griesley Bride" was set by Tom Campbell, who altered Manifold's poem to shorten it somewhat. The full text of the poem was on a wonderful Bush Poetry website called "The Campfyre", but, sadly, that site seems to have gone away...

Harry is alive and well and running The Denver Folklore Center, a music shop in Denver, Colorado (or was last fall when my husband and I visited.) He released a CD with some friends in a band called "Grubstake" a few years ago; it's great!
